Mr. Wizard, thank you for the pictures. Throughout this thread there has been an obvious Michelin bias. No doubt some of you are Michelin employees or retirees? Anyway that many failures no doubt rules out the tires as being bad. If that many tires were bad no way could Good Year sell a tire. Good Year is the #1 tire and that is not deniable. Please weigh your rigs and stop trying to roll 16 K plus on E rated tires and blame the tire. I agree with the Clemson guy that people should leave themselves more margin for safey. And nice choice in upgrades Clemson with going with Good Year G rated tires!
As for myself my rig is one of the heaviest Montanas, but I travel lightly as far as additional cargo. I keep it well within the ratings of the Marathons, and guess what? Not one failure in over three years! You fulltime guys weigh more than you know. Be safe, and the best of luck to you all.
