Why do I keep blowing out tires on my truck?
The last three sets of tires on my 2007 Ram 2500 have had one tire blow out. Always the same, passenger side rear. Have not weighed my trailer but specs are 7,000 dry, GVWR 10,500, pin weight 1,500....

Most tires these days are directional. Front to rear is the only rotation.
Considering we're on a RV forum and the topic is about trucks and RVs, I cannot think of a single truck/RV tire that is directional....
I'm sure one of the rvnetters will come up with an example and claim I'm wrong, because likely one exists, but I'd like to see "most" of the directional truck tires you're talking about.
Even car tires are less than 50%? I'd say directional. There are even plenty of performance tires that aren't directional. Have 2 performance cars now both with low pro Z rated tires. Neither are directional.
BTW, "directional" tires are really of no practical advantage except in ultra high performance applications.
Agreed, directional tires make up a pretty small % of the market unless you're shopping for winter tires. All my winter tires for all 4 of my vehicles are directional (including my Suburban).
