We had the infamous Mission tires on our 06 3400. We ran them for over a year without a problem but changed them out for a much better tire.. However we sold the Missions to a Rv'ing friend that had a much lighter TT and he ran them till they wore out with not a problem. Might not be as much a tire problem but the weight we carry on them.

Very much agree!
The Goodyear Marathons E-rated tires (or any E-rated tire for that matter) that they put on the 16,000 lb. GVR Montana's are at the very upper limit of capacity, and is simply a crime-in-progress perpetrated by Keystone, if you ask me. If they want to run these E-rated tires, at the very least, they should configure the heavier units with triple axles (which would negate any manufacturing cost savings, and thus will never happen).
If I was one of the bean-counters at Keystone, I wouldn't be able to sleep very well due to this issue. It is borderline criminal in my opinion.
