    Cheap Chinese tires blamed for stopping Russian column

    Not trying to start anything political, just saw this headline and it made me think of all the thread on here about Chinese tires:
    https://www.cityam.com/cheap-chinese...to-reach-kyiv/

    Should point out that I have no idea of how accurate this story is as well.

    Kind of along those same lines.....stopping the Russian column.....he read on one of the news sites that many of their soldiers were young and didn't even know that they were going to "war"....they were just told a "special operation". The news site stated that some of them were terrified once they found out their mission and purposely knocked holes in the fuel tanks of the vehicles they were driving or riding in.

    That is funny given the horror going on over there. I can see the soldiers being kept in the dark until the last second.

    Actually they cut off Google Maps and Waze. Then they didn't know which way to turn at the next intersection. They are airlifting in wives to replace the nav apps.

    We put new tires on RV's that we buy because they come with what we call "China Bombs".. They blow up on you when you're going about 60mph and rip out sections of your 5th wheel, trailer or motorhome.. Doing major damage,,

    Maybe tires, maybe poor maintenance practices such as periodically moving equipment so tires don’t stay with weight at one point forever. Who knows.

    Its most likely because they didn't exercise their equipment regularly. Driving on the tires regularly keeps them in better shape.

    Or maybe the weight of the extra cases of vodka.
