Another Tire Blowout
I bought Jayco Jay Feather hybrid new in 2014. It had 4 Towmax ST185/80R13 tires from the factory. Since owning the camper I've blown out 3 tires. Took the camper out for the first time this year last...

The latest, on the toy hauler last year, wasn't detected for a couple of miles. Traveling 10-15 mph and lots of dust. We found the likely puncture spot in spite of the damage. Left rear tire so the drag broke the spring shackles. A really "Good Sam" came along and helped Wife and I change the tire and figure out how to get the rig to the nearest suitable camp spot. He had a couple of spare shackles and helped me change out the busted ones.
My new TT has LR C tires, 50 psi, likely the cheapest to be found. I'll try them for a season or two, then get a good set of LR E, upper end.
That shackle failure was in the making for a long time, it was not a sudden break from the current road conditions.
