Good luck!
I've thought about going to a passenger/truck tire moving forward because I can't keep blowing tires over and over. I do suspect I have found a big issue though. When I mounted my tires in the winter of 23 into 24, I did not replace the valve stems. Two of the 5 tires I've blow also had compromised valve stems when I went to dismount them. I've since replaced all the valve stems to try to avoid a loss of tire pressure and over-heating.
