*UPDATE* ST tires any better nowadays?
It seems like all the ST tires you can get here on the East coast are cheap no-name brands, Maxxis not available out here last time I checked. I upgraded to LT tires (225/75-16) after my last blowout...

I know money is always tight, but I'll pass this along on the tires you have now. Starting at year 3 of them, do a spin test looking for an out of round tire at the start of every spring there after. Just because they are LT tires does not mean excessive interply shear is not lurking in the background.
I went with the Bridgestone Duravis R238's LT225/75R16 LR E's after the BFG Commercial TA's failed. Not the less expensive way, but after flying tread tore the camper apart, and already doing a 16" LT upgrade, going as bullet proof as you can is worth it when the pain gets high enough. Here is that post. I need to give an update. LT Tire Replacements - All season
Happy camping this year.

I got just over 4 years with the BFG Commercial's before one failed. I saw the bulge and got it off before it let go. After 5 1/2 years (6 from date of manufacturer) running the Bridgestone Duravis R250's in LT235/85R16 without a issue I replaced with the Sailun S637. Hope the Duravis R238's serve you as well as Duravis R250's did us.
