Moutard2, just to comment on hitting an expansion joint or other road hazard. When we are running on tires that are basically at their maximum load capacity and something like this happens damage can occur but not cause a blowout to the trailer tire at that time, by the same token it can happen on a LT or P tire as well. Alone it might not be the straw that breaks the camels back.

I believe that we can unknowingly or knowingly hit something causing some damage, this damage may not manifest itself until quite some time later when we have driven many miles. I also believe that overloading and under inflation which both cause heat to be one of the greatest reason our ST tires fail. Speed is another factor.

Just thinking also, but do you think perhaps we could get a road hazard guarantee on our ST tires.
