I just posted on fifth wheel forum of my blow max failure on my 2014 Jayco Eagle. Load range E. Unbelievable that this just continues to happen.
It will probably continue happening too.
The "market" simply isn't interested in paying up for better tires. Most everyone goes for the lowest possible price, as MOST TTs don't get towed very often or far. So the owners cannot justify in their minds paying as much for a TT tire that will age out when it still has a lot of tread left as they will for their automobiles which get the tires replaced when the tread wears out.
The manufacturers are simply meeting the desires of the "market". It is kind of like a race to the bottom. Build the cheapest tire possible that will meet minimal performance criteria to make the most profit... And this model continues to work for them.
