Blah, blah, blah... Just some unknown sales dude. I'd rather get my info. from an industry professional like say Roger Marble's rvtiresafety.net blog - tons of great info. from a retired tire engineer.
When it comes to ST tires, it's heat that leads to premature failure due to towing underinflated, overloaded and/or above the tire's speed rating. It's impossible to know how an owner treated their ST tires so it's impossible to know why a tire failed. As Roger Marble says, most failures are likely to have been caused by improper treatment. Having sufficient reserve load capacity is another important factor. Most ST tire owners don't know how to treat their tires properly. They're not like LT or passenger tires that they are used to. Sales dude didn't talk about load capacity of the various load ratings and sizes of ST tires or reserve load capacity rating.
