It is not a myth that over 50% of RVs have tires that are overloaded. It is not a myth that probably fewer than 15% monitor their tire inflation.
Why do so many feel having an engine temperature gauge or oil pressure gauge is important to monitor their engine even though they almost never run it any faster than 80% of redline. BUT almost all trailers operate some portion of the time at 95 to 120% of the tire redline but can't be bothered to monitor their tire temperature or pressure.
If almost 100% of ST tires applied to RVs are made in China why are so many surprised to learn that a lot of Chinese made tires fail.
I do not believe that all tires made in China are bad even though I have seen some tires that were made in China with possible design or manufacturing weakness.
I also do not believe that eating McDonald's fries makes someone a criminal even though a vast majority of criminals have eaten McDonald's fries.
Association does not prove causation.
I fault our education system for not doing a better job of teaching logic and science so people understand there is a great difference between having facts and data to prove A caused B and simply observing that since C happened with D that does not prove C was caused by D.
