Let's see?????? Food for thought???????
Those out there with tire problems, use a healthy dose of skepticism when taking advise from self anointed tire experts. When they claim to know more that industry insiders about specific tires and their uses, don't just follow the blindly. Perhaps they are receiving compensation of some form to promote an inferior product.
If a particular type of tire fails repeatedly, perhaps you need to find another direction. 22 tires is 9 years on the same rig? That is like burying your head in the sand refusing to listen to common sense. Strict obedience to government guidelines and recommendations? It is well known that Uncle Sam does not always know best. Those documents that others wave around are written by lawyers to protect corporations not the end users.
Think about what you are about to do. If you are about to replace your failed component with the same thing, what are the odds that it will fail in just the same manner(22 tires in 9 years)?
