......RV mfrs. do not spec tires. They go to the tire mfr. and get specs and quotes. GY marketed these tires as RV tires knowing that this was false. And they kept that up for many years all along denying any liability!!!!

Ah ..... Mmmmmm ..... Not exactly.
RV manufacturers buy bare chassis's and build a body on it. Those chassis's come from the factory with either the tires that the buyer specifies or what the factory installs as default. In either case, the RV manufacturer has control of what tires are supplied to the end user.
And, No!, GY did NOT market these tires as RV tires. They marketed them as short haul delivery tires.
