Had two blow outs on our 02 Alumascape when the fifth wheel was two years old or so. Didn't know about date codes then.
Goodyear Wrangler LT truck tires in 16 in rim size. One took off part of the plastic skirt over the wheel arch and metal brace.
The other4 loosened up the brace and left strips of rubber every where but little damage. Goodyear store replaced both. I had to pay some amount. Just lucky it didn't wreck us.
In the late '90s and early/mid '00 the Wrangler HT came OEM on some RV trailers and had issues like the Marathons and the G614. I'm no fan of a Goodyear tire because of the way they refused tire warranties on several of my road trailers. They sell me the tire with a warranty and refused to honor anymore because of the rate I was applying for warranty on the Marathons.
However to their credit they redid the Wrangler HT and since has made a good tire for trailer use.
Any LT tire can fail. But non have failed at the rate ST E/D/C tires have.
In my business flat tires on our trailers is no big control issues other than possible damage to the trailer. Many folks while on the road at nite don't even know they have a run flat or a blow out on the trailer.
