The difference in the Chinese made tires is who owns the factory and who provides oversight on the manufacturing and quality processes. Those left to the Chinese end up being the "bombs" as best I can tell and those companies with direct oversight (on site) of those processes produce tires that actually comply with their specs. Trailer King, Tow Max, Hi Spec, Ranier...avoid those.

Some would suggest that the only way a tire fails is due to owner abuse or foreign objects. That simply isn't the case in my experience. The original research I did on failures of one tire brand drove them all back to the same factory so there seems to be much more to it than the two factors listed above.
Has the OEM Ranier tire ever been the subject of blow out discussion? Hi-Spec I am sure about. TK I am sure about. What other brands does Keystone put on campers?
