Interesting experiences.
Very!
I wonder why no one's posted there (yet) about their bad experiences??? Maybe it's just too soon...or they're all dead, struck down by their evil ST's! :B
I do wish folks were giving trailer model there and especially number of axles. It seems to me that a nearly universal theme with the "ST's kill!" folks is that theirs are usually tandems. But more important: it wasn't the first blowout that convinced them as much as the second- nearly always on the same side of the rig. Is it possible that people so little understand what happens to that second tire when the other blows at highway speed that they're just leaving it on, thinking it's "fine"???
Isn't it common knowledge that the same-side second tire has very likely suffered internal damage from the shock of the sudden additional loading and that it, too, is probably shot??? (Regardless of "country of origin"/type :R)
At the very least, that tire should be demounted and inspected, but folks seem to just change the first one, go merrily on their way, and then get all bent out of shape when the second one gives up the ghost.
