The China-Bomb debate Put to rest

Just to throw my ST experience into this wonderful tire debate.... I bought my Heartland Sundance XLT TT New in March of this year. The tires are dated 43rd week of 15 with a rating of 100/96L. On my first road trip from Texas to Wisconsin one of the factory Rainer ST tires developed a split in the tread. I always check my tire psi and temps when i stop for fuel, so I thought maybe i had ran over something and cut the tire. I just tossed it in the back of the truck and threw the spare on. Once i got home from the road trip i pulled the other tires to check them. The 4 others all have what looks like dry rot cracking already appearing in the tread. These tires never went over 65mph, never ran low psi, and never ran hot. So there is some quality control issues going on!
So since i somehow got lucky on the first one and it just deflated i decided to swap them all to LTs. It took some work and i had to swap to 15in wheels. But this is not the first ST tire i have had issues with, so i want to try something different.
BTW the LT have a 112MPH speed rating and gave me 220lbs more per tire on the load rating.
