Hmm, I've never had a false alarm with my TST system.

X2 on the TST. Never had a false alarm. I love it when people try to justify the Chinese tires by claiming user error. Kinda insulting to those of us that have had tires blow. Blew one on my boat trailer the other day. Not overloaded and properly inflated ALWAYS. Due to the odd size no one makes a car or LT tire for it.

+1 on TireMinder. I've yet to have a false alarm, though I did get a loss of signal the other day. I immediately pulled over and for whatever reason it appears the battery had failed. I replaced all of them and all is well.

Our last rig had Towmax, what everyone who owned that brand referred to as Blowmax. On their forum, there is ALOT of posts about them tires blowing out, I did experience it also. I always check tire pressures and I had before the trip that the one blew. Thankfully we had actually came to a stop for a break, I was out of the truck already and "BOOM", everyone in the parking lot was staring at us, I just put my hands in the air. Lol. To me it was obvious that the tread separated from the tire itself, it took 30 minutes for the tire to actually go flat!!
Now, the Westlake tires on our Solitude "look" a lot more heavy duty and like I could trust them, so I think I will for awhile, and watch air pressure closely like I always do. I'm feeling quite broke right now after buying the Solitude and a new Ram in the last month.

I towed my rig from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas yesterday. The air temperature reached 110 in some places, and the TPMS indicated up to 124 degrees and 95 psi on the Westlakes. I gave the tires a good exam this morning and they look good.

Hi all
well i was like a lot of you guys and have ran the Westlake tires on our new 2015 379fl for 60800 miles had some good trips cross country and some short trips.
We just recently took a short trip to a favorite camp ground for the weekend, checked everything out and drove 170 miles great time, time to come home 55 miles an hour
78 degrees out nice day to travel, BAMMM!! the hole outside of the tire blew out there were know signs of anything wrong with the tire it looked good and i know the
tire psi was at 80 psi i checked before we left the campground i always do.
The whole side wall came apart from the steel belt that only go across the top of the tire. i took picks of it but haven't been able to down load it to show everyone .luckily there was
no damage to the coach and i was able to stop quick. Needless to say i no longer trust the tires and am with a lot of other people on the forum they are junk." China bombs" fit
the description to a tee.. The tires on our coach still all look good and there is no strange ware patterns or anything obvious the coach tows great and i could not be happier with
this trailer but i do not trust these tires anymore. Just my two cents

Did you really mean to say 60800 Miles? I'm thinking on a 2015 probably not... also please let us know your actual axle weight of the trailer and the rating on the tire. Thanks
