Blowout
Well I just had my first blowout, 40' Monaco diesel. This was a 275-70-22.5 Hancook that I put on in February 2012. I really thought they would last a little longer than this so I wonder if I should ...

We have a built-in tire monitoring system. I was driving yesterday about 200 miles to my destination and I keep a close eye on tire pressure and tire temps.
We have Michelins tires, 365's on the steer and tag axle, 315's on the drive axle. The charts recommend 105 on the steers, 90 on the drives and 80 on the tag (If I remember correctly). I like a little cushion so I run 110, 100, 90 respectively.
I have noticed many times on hot days, like yesterday (95 ambient in TN), that at the end of the day, my tire temps are running about 140-145 degrees. I have had these temps over the 27,000 miles that I've watched it. The tire pressures will increase 10+ lbs. per tire. while driving.
It is also my understanding that Michelin is the only manufacturer of the 365 tire. I had two sets of Michelin's on our previous coach and Michelin's now. I have had no trouble except on the new coach, Prevost replaced the two front tires under warranty as I had a slight continued vibration at 60-65 mph, they apparently were 'out of round'. I saw on the invoice that they were priced at $1,008 each. They also gave me a 3 axle alignment, all is good now!
