D vs E rated tires

[thomas g. warner]

Believe that all coaches came with Generals than. Still the D rated tires
will not take the side loads imposed on them.

Just about everything was recalled in the late 70s. The Generals that
came new with my GMC were recalled,I went to Firestone Steel and they
were recalled, when the replacements wore out I went to Michellin and
they were replaced under warranty more times than I can "recall!"

That is why when I got 44k miles out of my Bridgestones before I had a
blowout, I was ecstatic. Now I run Bridgestone all steel E rated and
expect they will outlast me.
