But when folks went up to the H rated tire the failure rate almost disappeared. Then you would hear of the rare failure of an H and it was tread peeling, no loss of air pressure. The Goodyear Rep I was dealing with said to me he thought that failure was almost always too low of pressure for the load it was required to carry. Thus twisting the tread of the casing when the trailer was backing into a site at low speed. Was he right or wrong? don't know but the H was a lot better tire for the heavy trailers.
