Westlake Tires
Had a blow out with my one of the Westlake tires. Tire blow out caused $1000
damage to the fifth wheel. I'm very diligent at checking the tire pressure and keeping it at 80PSI. My rough estimate on the mileage was between 4000 and 4500 miles towing. Tires were three years old.
The fifth wheel is repaired and today it's getting five new tires including the spare. I just didn't trust the remaining Westlake tires. I decided to get the Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R15, it was between Goodyear and Maxxie. The Goodyear won out as it is a more stout tire and has a higher highway speed. I always run with the cruise set at 62MPG, but I wanted a little higher speed just in case.
The good news is the new Goodyear have a DOT build of 20/19
Also had to replace the truck tires also three years old, Firestone OEM wore out just sort of 23000 miles. Rotated every 5000 miles and kept inflation up to specs.
Just put new Michelin Defender LT245/75R17 Load E. Good news here the DOT build date on the Michelin 19/19.
Hopefully every thing will be back to normal. Happy camping.
