I had 3 full seasons with these China tires but really didn't want to risk a 4th so I just replaced them all with Goodyear Endurance.

This is a story that plays out all too often here. I had about 3 years and maybe 3K miles on mine. Then on one trip home from San Antonio to Houston, I had 3 of them blow at different times. The first blew about 50 miles out of San Antonio. The second went about another 25 miles or so. The third waited until I was almost home. I was only going 50 mph after blowing the first two. It was an expensive and long day (5 1/2 hours trip turned into over 14 hours). My Allstate RV Roadside paid for the first two, but I was on my own for the third. I now have 4 Maxxis tires. And it was in the shop for over 2 months waiting for various pieces/parts to fix the damage.

Good luck.

We got 5 years out of our Westlake's they were great tires for us. No failures no flats.

Are you positive that you did not run over something ??
