I don't believe I've seen any complaint about them, in a place where we all love to complain.

I replaced our E rated West Lake tires with Good Year Endurance at the beginning of last season. I no longer worry about our tires when towing. I'm no tire expert, but it was easy to see that that Goodyear tires were far superior.

I couldn’t care less about the political correctness of it but it is just so tiring on this forum
Seems like the “in” thing to say
I personally would like the term banned from the forum by moderators
They have either served him or the previous owner very well since 2018 so it is confusing as to why he referred to them as bombs

I couldn't agree more. They haven't failed so why the hyperbole?

Sometimes I think there are two people that frequent all of the forums I go on - People who want to look for problems with their camper and people who want to camp.

The china bomb tires issue seems to going off into the weeds once again......imagine that ! For those interested in facts and the history on this phrase, a little history may be in order once again.

About 15 years or so ago tires being manufactured in China were missing or had an insufficient to safety specifications "gum strips." These strips were important safety items to bond the plys (some or all) for radial tires. Tire blowouts were occurring with some frequency and at times causing some serious and deadly events. Combining the China made tires with blowouts evolved into the China bomb phrase used often back then but out of context over the last several years with tires produced over the last decade.

Maybe with help from the fireworks industry too, China bombs (Cherry Bombs) were some pretty explosive fireworks back in the day......1/4 stick of dynamite as I recall. My BIL still has some I think. When he lights one up, we can hear them 5 miles away.......the fireworks.......not the tires !

There are a number of links in the internet universe to learn about this. Here is one: https://www.lawyersandsettlements.co...ina-tires.html

Because they are made in China and they go off like a bomb. Not too hard to figure out. It is a fact, just like the fact that this wonderful virus originated in China.
