I drive/pull various trailers with mileage totaling well over what the majority here total and have never owned an american made trailer tire NOR LT trailer tire. I am over 40 years old, a 3rd gen RV'er, and NEVER had a tire failure while I was at the wheel. This includes those little 8" donuts tires, which I've pulled thru dozens of state at 80mph when they were rated at 45mph!!!
Go find an oil brand or octane thread to loose sleep over. This is not the debate you are looking for.
Are you looking for a hero biscuit. you won't get one from me. More likely a drivers razzie for you from me.
Please tell me all knowing why individuals who have had multiple sudden tire failures with off brand OEM ST Chinese tires suddenly stop having failures after changing to quality name brand tires. These individuals report making no changes to their tire maintenance process or their driving behaviors after switching to brand name quality rubber yet the repeated failures cease.
Also it is factual that the government mandated tire testing regiment for ST tires for certification is much less severe than for LT tires.
AS for losing sleep over a debate, I don't loss sleep but I will continue to educate people based on facts I have discovered and experience I have gained towing various vehicles for over 40 years.
