Hi Dale,

LOL.... And how old are your fuel lines?

Seriously... maybe the dried out old rubber is stiffening the sidewall
enough that it hasn't folded from the load yet. I've experienced
sidewall failure in fairly new under-rated car tires on my bus in the
past and was quite impressed with the increased steering response after
the move to proper-rated 185R14's.

Happy Trails,
