Blow out on new rig:(
While this should (all things be equal) not have happened on a new rig / tire, it all comes down to trailer mfgs. making a profit:( at the expense of the RV owner. In my opinion, RV owners should be given the option of what brand of tires, size, ply, rating etc. they want on their new RV. I am willing to pay the difference in price between the original tires and the tires of my choice. I recently bought a new Heartland Big Horn 5th. wheel but before we sealed the deal, I asked the salesman about the tires on the RV, Towmasters. He said he really didn't know much about them:( I then told him that I would not buy the 5th. wheel unless the tires were replaced with my choice of tire. He said "not a problem", they will do it at the Heartland factory:) Everybody won on the deal:)
