My parents have E rated on their Alpine and I know its not the original set being the date stamp on the tires are from 2013 and the camper is a 2010. They had two blowouts today on 95 outside of Richmond. Each 12 miles apart. My opinion, older tires that had very little treadwear sitting on the lot of a used camper they bought last winter and 100 degrees outside so that Interstate temp probably pushing 140 or more and to be honest, not sure why a 12,000 lb trailer has E series on as once you load the thing a little bit, you sure are pushing the limit on each tire weight wise. It is why I put G series on my new one before it left the lot. I think they have that planned for tomorrow providing they get no more blowouts today. I think they are gonna park and finish the trip outside of DC tonight.
