Truck tires
I've had very bad luck with tires on my dually due to separation issues. I'm only getting 15k to 20k before this happens and 3.5 to 4 years. I only have the camper on the truck about 3500 miles a year...

Guess l was hoping to get a consensus on the best available tires to use on a dulley carrying a 5000 lb TC. I'll probably look into the Toyo brand for my next set. I believe heat could be causing most of my separation issues as in summer months as read on my TST monitor I can see Temps reaching 110 degrees with pressure rising at least 10 to 12 percent. A few months back I opened the trunk of a car I own to find a BFG TA exploded Tire was 6 years old with very few miles used as spare,also vehicle is always garaged. I tried to post a photo, but couldn't. I'd be happy to email or text the photo to anyone to post. Just private message me..... So its my opinion most if not all tires are not made well these days. Just read trailer or class A form...
Wow! Honestly you may just be on a slow roll of bad tire luck! (No pun intended, lol). Seriously. Doesn’t sound like you’re doing anything wrong.
Although do take a moment to figure out what % of rated capacity you’re running, especially the steer tires on the dually.
Im not very tire paranoid in general, but you don’t say what tire size you have on the truck. And you could be right on the cusp if you’re running 16s and have 215s on it.
I’ve beat enough tires to death to form my opinion that I don’t believe there is a marked difference in quality between any of the popular brands. I’d feel the same about running Toyo, Nitto, Cooper, Goodyear, General, etc. But adjectivally, Toyo is top of the heap imo.
For pics google Rvnet Photo Posting. Then you can select a pic a couple ways and then copy the link and paste it into your post. It’s clunky but easy.
