Hi Iam am new to MOC but have been camping for years.

Last tip I blew 2 copper tires that were only 4 years old The tread was over 75% good and pressure was up.
I have found that most tires blow for one of two reasons. Either a road hazard or over heating . I believe mine was road hazard. When they went, There was another camper a 10 feet up the road with the same problem and I had gone over 800 miles before they blow. They were made in China but so is everything today. They were a good brand (COPPER ) and did not show any signs of stress when I set out.
I have picked up things in my tires you never see when driving. Bolts, Pieces of metal, nails, screws,even had a screw driver in one, on a trip.

When I got home I put 2 more new tires on just to match up the new ones I had to replace on the road.
PS Covering your tires when sitting a long time is highly recommended.
I haven't heard of "Copper" brand tires. Are you possibly referring to "Cooper" ?
