Other reasons ST tires fail??
There have been soooo many threads and posts on ST tires here about what the best one is and why they fail sometimes. I was just reading one of those "threads from heck" - ST tire thread from heck......

While the built and testing requirements might play a small role I think abuse and the lack of reserve capacity are the two main reasons for many tire failures and that is not the tires fault or it's quality.
Besides, the TT normally follows the TV, right? Why is that TV tire failures don't happen at anywhere near the same rate as ST tire failures?
Why is it that when one switches to LT tires, the problems go away?
You can call it "abuse".... But why do the LT tires live when subject to the same or worse "abuse", whereas STs fail often?
You can continue to make excuses for them if you want to..
I stopped that a while back. Never gonna run a ST tire again.
