Chinese RV tires... holding up!
Got a new RV with factory installed Made in China tires with unknown brand. I figure I'll have it replaced after a year. But to my pleasant surprise, after a thousand miles and 5 months in deep ...

I had to replace 3 Castle Rocks in a week and a half this month. First was spare. Doing my pressure checks prior to trip and spare had a strange bulge. Got that replaced.
On my trip drivers side tire blew out and damaged my slide out, it will not fully open now. Had that tire replaced. Trip home, passenger side, tire blew.
My new Goodyear tires are coming today. I took one of the surviving Castle Rocks off yesterday. As I was rolling it I noticed the tread curved in one area. No bulge, but not straight.
I always kept my pressure correct and my goal was to get thru this last trip and get new tires before my August trip. Well, I am keeping to my goal but not in the manner I wanted.
My TT is 2019 and I have had it less than 3 years, so tires were not that old. My pressure checks include visual inspection looking for cracks/chips/bulges. On my last trip on the way home we stopped at a rest stop and did a check also, all looked good.
I was hoping if I treated my China Bombs correctly all would be well, but I wasn't going to push my luck too far. 3 tires in a week and a half is makes one seriously question the quality.
