I’m the one that post the picture of the failed Chinese tire on page 21 of this thread. It was a Mission ST225/75R/15D rated radial tire. If cruising at 65 to 67mph is abusing, yes it was abused. It definitely was not overloaded or run low of air. When I went to a B F Goodrich Commercial TA in size LT225/75R16E rated tire, I have not had any more tire problems. Still cruising between 65 and 67mph. Out of the five tires I had to fail, they all looked like the one in the picture, but one. It’s the one that came apart just North of Birmingham. No doubt, it started the same way with tread separation. The ST’s are like a heavy duty inner tube compared to a LT tire. Mine were anyway. We usually take at least two pretty long trips every year. (400 miles one way or more) Like I’ve said on short trips the tires don’t have time to build up a lot of heat so in my Opinion, that is why some people get by with the ST’s. Short trips or not very heavy campers.
