The TT industry is like no other. What is sad is that when you buy a TT, NOBODY tells you that there is a speed rating on the tires and that there are other things you need to be aware of with ST tires (overload & under-inflation). A dealer never says anything, factory says nothing and there's no sticker above the tires. Isn't until someone has a blowout that they *might* find out if they go onto an RV forum - where it's often simply the cheap Chinese tires that are blamed...
We got the optional LRD Goodyear tires offered by our TT manufacturer when we ordered it. For fun, I asked the sales guy at the dealer why anyone would order those and his answer was "I dunno". Not surprised.
There are some tire experts out there that try and make the world a safer and better place for RV owners like Roger and his RV tire safety blog. Unfortunately, he got banned from the forum (no problem on other forums tho.)
