Sitting here in the Wade KOA, in Fayettesville NC, traveling with the rest of the snowbirds heading north from Florida. Two Montanas and one Cedar Creek with blowouts and serious damage here in the park. Talked to all three. All have Goodyear Marathons. None had checked their air pressure in the past 3-4 days. All were "Going the speed limit", ie 70+ MPH when blowouts occurred. Don't like or run Marathon STs, but maybe a little caution is in order? Maybe a few folks, and maybe these three were just asking for tire trouble by pushing the common sense envelope?
