So a ST tire by nature of it higher loading at a low inflation pressure, then it is doomed from the get go, because it is going to run hotter?
Chris
Any tire when run faster than it is designed to do (or run right up against it's "red Line" speed.
or run above its load limit (or right near its max capability)
and don't forget being low on pressure is just a different form ov overloading, is "doomed from the get go" to deliver a shorter life than a tire that is not stressed to its max most of its life.
Why people think otherwise is beyond me.
Would you expect an engine that was run at or above its redline or always run with oil at or below the minimum level in the crankcase to deliver the same life that was not abused?
So as FastEagle says, do you think the factory or delivery guys check the air before hauling a trailer off to the dealer? Chris
