Tires and TC are funny things. I've had a blowout before and it's not fun but my blowout was due to a road hazard (railroad spike in the road) If the tire people made a run flat 10 ply truck tire, I'd have a set in a minute,
Originally I had planned on replacing all the tires with my usual Michelin tires that have treated me well over the years. After looking online though it seemed that people were generally happy with these stock tires. I couldn't really find any horror stories. Time will tell. We are heading to Alaska now and will be there in a few weeks after traveling through Oregon, Washington and Canada. If anything odd happens between now and then I will have them replaced before getting too far away.
