Tire Brand

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.

I will continue to educate people based on facts I have discovered and experience I have gained towing various vehicles for over 40 years.

To separate emotions from fact we would need actual numbers of tire failures by brand name and other parameters. We already know few people check their trailer tire's for air pressure, monitor the tires for operating temperatures, tow over the speed limit of the tires, or have the axle alignment checked. Likely these numbers are not available so there isn't a way to know what the percentage of failures are with respect to proper operation and maintenance of the trailer tires and tire manufactures.

As far as "china bombs", where is the line to what tires are and are not china bombs? See my earlier post, are mine china bombs, one person's response, maybe. Reviews on the internet yield 4 and 5 stars on my trailer kings.

I'm very interested in this subject, I'm getting ready to go full time traveling around our country. I don't need the grief or expense of tire blow-outs. I did purchase a TPMS system for the trailer tires which also reports back tire temperatures.
