During a trip with 6 month old tires, two out of 6 tires failed. One was a deemed a road hazard by the manufacturer. Given these tires were purchased and installed on a tow vehicle with ratings for the vehicle and failed on a 75 degree day with a light mist. I would suspect that the tires are not capable of meeting the rated specs. The tires were purchased January from treadwright Corp.
