Any personal experience with Westlake Super ST tires?
These are coming on my new RV. And they are made in ..... China!

Well I see the China bashers are out. If you goggle Firestone 521 you will find U.S.A. tires that were made in the 70s that were blowing up all over the place.
Or how about the Wilderness AT recall-
At 11:00 am on Wednesday, August 9, 2000, Bridgestone/Firestone (Firestone) and Ford announced jointly that Firestone will recall approximately 14.4 million tires that contain a safety-related defect. (Most of the tires in question were original equipment on Ford vehicles, primarily the Ford Explorer, although a small number were used as original equipment on other manufacturers' vehicles, and they have been used as replacement tires on a wide variety of models.)
The recall will cover all P235/75 R15 Firestone ATX and ATX II tires (from 1991 to the present) and all P235/75R15 Wilderness AT tires (from 1996 to the present) manufactured at Firestone's Decatur, IL plant. Firestone does not plan to recall the approximately 5.6 million Wilderness AT tires manufactured at its other plants (Joliet, Canada and Wilson, NC) or other models of Wilderness tires. Firestone estimates that approximately 6.5 million of the tires covered by the recall (which include original equipment, replacement, and full-size, non-temporary spare tires) are still on the road.
How we conveniently forget. Enough said.
The new Westlake tire has a nylon cap it didn't have before. They are some of the recent manufacturers that have added the cap like the highly touted "Mx" brand.
They are as good as any other. Just watch your speed and inflation. Do not exceed 65mph.
