Good discussion about tires but I haven't seen any mention about being overweight. It seems to me that being overweight with all the stuff we try to carry is also a huge contributer to tire failure. My father-in-law carried enough stuff to rebuild his whole rig and he went through a lot of tires in his cross country trips.
X2. And it's not just a matter of being overweight in total. Those of us who have three slides on one side (one of them being the kitchen) can load our basement so that the over all load weight is good, but the drivers side tires can be overloaded.
