Every new vehicle I have ever purchased, and it's been quite a few, has had quality name brand tires on it not the cheapest unknown Chinese piece of junk they could buy like the RV's use. I was happy to get rid of the "new" tires on my last new RV and gladly left them behind for some farmer to put on his manure spreader...

That is your choice and I do not question it. I do question your saying that we all should do the same just because a hired delivery driver mistreats our trailers/tires which we reasonably expect to be delivered in near-100% new condition. It does not matter if the tires are Goodyear, Michelin, ST, LT etc. they should NOT be abused by the mfg, hauler or dealer prior to acceptance by the customer.
ALL tires have limitations, regardless of the label. If you discovered that the 'name brand' tires on your car/truck had been abused before you got them, would you excuse it just because they are 'name brand' tires? Why would you defend such a practice?
