I appreciate the kind words BigToe!
We are all here to learn. Because of the expert information from many many people on this and other RV forums, I have learned quite a bit and have been able to do many projects/fixes on my RVs that I otherwise would not have been able to do. Saves a lot of $$$ not having to go to the local RV shop. And helps me be safer. I enjoy sharing what I have learned so that others can benefit and avoid problems/issues.
One last thing about tires... It may be putting too much faith in a government entity, but I also naively think that the Department of Transportation (DOT) must test/verify all tires that they are putting their stamp on prior to them going on the market/road. Or at least have some sort of monitoring system in place for reports/complaints. The DOT must have as part of it's general mission something to the effect of "We don't want tires on fast moving heavy vehicles falling off all over the place causing tons of accidents and deaths". This makes me (again, possibly naively) a little less worried about brands.
Safe travels!
