I have had 4 blowouts by tire failure, not road hazard. So I empathize with your plight. I have opted for the Goodyear G614 tire. I dumped 4 Mission tires with 4000 on them because of the reports on the MOC and my own experience with China tires.
There are several things I choose to do in an effort to avoid tire failure. (1) I bought tire pressure monitors (Pressure Pro) (2) I purchased an infrared thermometer to quickly check tire temperatures at all stops. I am looking for anomaly. (3) I chose to tow at 58 to 60 MPH. (4) While traveling cross country, I check the tires everyday of travel for anything amiss. (5) Based on the weight of my rig, I run the G-rated tires at 105 psi.
The subject of tires and all that goes with it is subject to controversy. I have reasons for my choices. If you would like for me to expound, PM or email me. Welcome to the forum.
