I am constantly reading about people that have a blowout on tire mfg such and such or camper mfg such and such and instantly replace all four tires with the current "latest and greatest". Some go so ...

This thread reminds me of Ford 6.0/6.4 PSD problems that some members blamed other psd owners for those engines problems.
Poor quality tires and poorly designed tires aren't the tire owners fault.
Case in point is Goodyear Marathon ST tires....and Goodyear Wrangler HT...and Goodyears G614 all were very problematic with zippers and tread loss.
I'm no Goodyear fan but to their credit they stepped up made had a redesign on the Marathons with the new circle S embossed on the sidewall. They went from a 5k-7k tire to a 15k tire with fewer reported issues.
Same with the Goodyear LT235/85-16 E Wrangler H/T tires that came oem on some rv and non rv trailers. Goodyear did a redesign also on this tire some time in the early '00 era. Now we don't see trailer owners reporting those type issues.
Same with the G614 which had a terrible record pre '08/'09 era. Goodyear did a redesign on them sometime in that era and are a vastly improved tire.
Same with Carlisle ST tires. There were hundreds of Carlisle ST complaints on NHTSA.gov tire complaints website several years ago.
Carlisle came out with a new RH design in early '13 and was a big player for Carlisle. Now the Carlisle HD just came out in '16 and should put Carlisle way ahead in the ST C/D/E tire game.
Are tire mfg to blame for their poorly designed tires that came apart with just 1500-2500 miles of service.... as their before and after record shows you bet.
