I blew 2 of these tires in less than 1000 miles, both less than 2 years old load range E. Not heavily loaded, and properly aired up. Both shucked the tread off the carcass, one never even losing air. A friend's trailer did exactly the same, on recently purchased Westlakes from another source. Thanks for 2 ruined fenders and some welding of brackets.
