Endurance failure
Uh oh. This is how it always seems to start. Grand Design Forum wrote: . Always check your tires! I found a sidewall bubble on one of the brand new Goodyears. Got it swapped the day before we left....

OMG, the sharks are coming, the sharks are coming!
58 attacks this year...across the world. Jillions of swimmers.
One bubble out of how many tires?
Oh, the humanity!
LOL, nailed it. 400,000 RV's sold yearly with however many being towables and one guy gets a blow out and it's the end of the world for that tire.
Funny indeed, especially when you do the math.
RVs sold 2018, 500,000 and change.
Around 80+% were towable by the RVIAs own numbers. I'd guess 80% of those were tandem axle. That's 1,800,000 tires put out on the roads in 2018 on towable RVs and that does not include utility trailers.
The kicker is the vast majority of those would be some China Bomb brand el cheapo ST. Goodyear Endurance would be a small percentage.
According to RV forums all ST tires must be junk, unless they're the brand one has on their rig in most cases. Why should Goodyear's Endurance get special treatment. Tires grenade just sitting static and hanging from the carrier mount according to these boards? Funny.
