Heading out for a trip last week and within 10 miles had a blowout on our FW. More of an explosion actually. Mounted the spare and 5 miles later the one in front of it exploded. Had to have someone come out and mount it on the rim on the road. The dates on the tires were 09/2019 so not that old, no dry rotting and I always check pressure before heading out. No TPMS warning - just BOOM.
Typical for ST tires load C/D/Eyears ago when they all were made in the usa. Before US tire mfg sent them overseas we called them ST maypops.
Then ST made in china load C/D/E started showing up but with the same results...but folks named them china bombs.
I learned about ST tires when they all were made in the USA. With five trailers on the road 24/7 with 28 15"/16" tires on the ground using 2 sometimes 3 spare tires it didn't take long to realize ST weren't made for the long run. Do everything right per the tire mfg and still had sidewall zippers (blowout) and tread loss then a blow out and many run flats tire till it shreds all the tire at nite til the steel wheel ran on pavement making a beautiful nite time sparks show.
So...welcome to the ST tire bomb victims club :). Hope your on better rubber now.
