Another China Bomb Story

More China Bomb issues. Was camped next to a couple with a year old Jayco TH this week. He has been on two trips and lost a tire on each one. The first trip was mainly cosmetic damage that he repaired himself with some signs left to remind him. The second trip is costing him his $500 deductible with some pretty serious damage to a slide out. We talked for a bit, he tows a little fast, about 70, runs proper air pressures. He thought about getting a TPMS before this last trip, but decided not to. Now he wishes he had. The system likely would have saved his $500 deductible and a good bit of headache. He has all new tires now so I'm not sure what he had on for OE tires. Still only went with LREs which I think was a mistake, but at least they're not the OE tires. Another lesson learned, don't wait to change the OE tires, don't tow too fast, and a TPMS is likely one of the best investments you can make that will pay for itself.
