There are always questions about tire industry standards that people challenge. And, maybe, rightfully so, at least in their way of thinking. NHTSA sort of writes in short-hand and you have to pay particular attention to every words meaning when reading their standards and regulations.

Well I feel that over the years that you have been posting about tires you get all wrapped up in what the government thinks and says vs what happens in the real world with ST tires on larger RV trailers and their poor performance in said applications.
I now spend a lot of time on the Heartland forum and the problems with Blow Max tires is very perverse even with the new ones with a Nylon cap. Heartland finally switched to Sailun LRG all steel tires on their larger trailers to assure customer satisfaction with their trailer products. The larger Landmarks have Sailun 17.5 tires.
BTW, I can not find your question in the link provided.
Fool me once, but not a second time.
