    It was on the rear axel so, whatever it was, it missed the tire on the front axel.

    This is more often the case as the front tire(s) will "pick up" whatever may have been on the road and now with some velocity created by this, the "flying" object damages the rearward tire with cuts that may be fatal or may evolve over time to do so in the future.

The first one completely came apart and all that remained was a 30" piece of tread. Still in town, I had a new tire mounted on the rim so I'd have a spare. The second one was 90 miles down the road and it never even deflated...the tread completely separated off of the tire...Date code 4218 on a 2019 trailer...less than 4K miles on them. $2800 in damage. They earned their nickname, IMO. Good move on changing them out, IMO.

    In my research on different RV forums over the years; Maxxis, Carlisle, Sailun, and GY Endurance (in no particular order) have received good reviews. Outside of the OEM tires, I only have experience with GY. People have said find your size and price with any of them and go with it.

    Love my Goodyear Endurance. Just remember to keep them at maximum air pressure, otherwise they will scuff the sides of tires off.
    It was much better after I got the suspension aligned. Grand Design does not align axles. We actually did the MorRyde upgraded suspension and love the upgrade (except the price).
    Hope this helps

If not by then I will change them. Not because of any thing other than they are going to be of age by then. I did some research and the biggest factors, which most of you know anyway, with tire failure of any kind is underinflation, heat (which is mostly caused by under inflation) and going over the speed rating of the tires. The Westlakes may have been/are more susceptible to those factors. Don't know. I'll use my new TMPS system this year, and keep an eye on everything with walkarounds and so on. I really don't want to spend $800.00 or more prematurely for new tires. My two previous TT's never gave me issues and were driven thousands of miles on the factory tires, but they were not nearly as heavy either.
    I also questioned the cause of many of the Westlake failures. I always check air pressure (maintained 75 - 80 psi), do not drive over 65 mph, do not overload camper (verified on CAT Scale) and do not run over curbs.
    On our way home from Gulf Shores, AL last week the passenger side front tire lost it tread. We did not have a major event, but it took out the electrical to brake and signal lights, the kitchen slide and possible more. We lost the sheet metal fender shirt, damaged sheet metal in front of wheel and wore a whole on the underside of the slide out. (See photos)
    We are not the original owners. We have put about 7000 miles on them in about 16 months. They might have 9000 miles on them.
    If they just went flat I could deal with that, but they lose tread like a recap and beat the camper to bits. It does make we question their manufacturing methods on the tire.

    I replaced my perfectly good Westlakes (?) with the Goodyear Endurance last month. My life or vehicles aren't worth $700 but each to their own. Had issues with Westlakes on previous RV, these only had about 4000 miles but I had no interest in having them any longer. Tire dealer (like almost everyone else on these forums) highly recommended the Goodyears and said that is the tire they recommend for TVs. No more worries about tires for me.

    After a $1700 insurance claim on our Solitude I bought Carlisle 15-ply, load range "G" tires. We had a set of Carlisles on a 39 foot travel trailer for 20 years until they delaminated. The new set was in perfect condition when we sold it.

    Putting these "G" Carlisles on our Solitude was a no-brainer. With the Eez-Tire sensor system I travel with confidence that any tire issues will become known before anything really bad happens. These Carlisles are rated 110 Psi max, just as the rims they are mounted on. As an added benefit, they were about $100 cheaper apiece than the Michelin's on my Taurus.
