Speed and blown tires
Another thought I had while driving home today again from our holiday camping trip up north. I posted about driving to fast and not surprisingly I was told I was going to fast at 68mph even though I was the slow one on the road. So this weekends trip (560 miles round trip) I set it to 65mph per good advise here on the boards ;) and of course all (dozens) but two rv's (who kept pace with me) passed me anywhere from 66mph to i'm guessing 80mph. so my fuzzy math is telling me that 95% of the rv's, boats, jet ski's, etc were going above or well above 65mph. This was also true of my last trip of 700 miles.
So here is the question, I know the Chinese tires have a bad rap and I know they are of low quality. But how much of the problem do you think is because of simply going to fast for the tire? How many of you who travel under 65mph (where are you guys btw?) have had blowouts?
