Here is the site: Top 10 Best Commercial Truck Tire Brands. | This is just the beginning of...I do know that our Coopers are starting to get a lot of cracks in the sidewall, Our only a year younger Firestone does not have a blemish anywhere. When I was looking at tire information, I did see that Bridgestone approved recapping up to a maximum 15 year carcass life.Pierce Quote Selected 2 Likes

Correct. The tire will not fail until well over 300 psi and may bend the wheel and come off before blowing up. 14 or 16 ply ratings are not the number of actual plies but based on the strength of cotton plies used in the past. The small 5 to 10 gallon propane tanks won't fail until at least 965 psi. So a huge safety margin for both. Pierce Quote Selected
