The facts are that nobody knows whether or not their tires were engineered and manufactured right. Brand or country of origin does not matter and as a user you will not know if there is an inherent problem until it happens to you or to enough other users that it becomes newsworthy.
Even if you have a problem, then you need to determine whether or not your tires were inflated properly and that the air pressure was according to the actual weight on that tire at the time of failure.
Naturally we already know that ALL RV owners always weigh their rig and inflate their tires to the correct tire pressure. They also check their tire pressure every morning when the tires are cold and never trust their TPMS system to be 100% accurate. Any problem on an RV tires is automatically the fault of the tire manufacturer. :B
