Consumer Description

IN 1999 I PURCHASD A NEW GULFSTREAM '30 FOOT MOTOR HOME, IT WAS BUILT ON A FORD E450 CHASSIS. THE UNIT WAS SHIPPED WITH "E" RANGE TIRES. I HAD A SEVEN TIRE ROTATION AT 5000 MILES, AT WHICH TIME THE SPARE WAS PUT INTO USE. IN A CHECK OF TIRE PRESSURES BEFORE MY LAST TRIP I FOUND A "D" RANGE TIRE(THE ORIGNAL SPARE?). I HAVE DRIVEN 25000 MILES ON THIS TIRE AT 20PSI OVER MAX RATED PRESSURE. I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT THIS TIRE DID NOT BLOW AT 65 MPH. IS THIS A STANDARED PRACTICE TO SHIP CUTAWAYS WITH LOWER RANGE(CHEAPER) TIRES?
