It has been a long weight with a lot of rubber left along side the road and trailers damaged.
I think it's a result of consumer demand. The rv industry buys the junk, then over the life of the unit the consumer will typically by a better set several times. I think it may have been Maxxis that first offered a better alternative and once their market share increased Carlisle and others followed. Good old competitive Capitalism at work!
