Consumer Description

AFTER EXPERIENCING A BLOW OUT ON MY TRAILER MYSELF (GOODYEAR), I FOUND I WAS IN GOOD COMPANY. IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON MALADY. PLEASE LOOK AT THESE POSTINGS. HTTP://WWW.CAMPINGWORLD.COM/CFORUM/INDEX.CFM/FUSEACTION/THREAD/TID/14464 015.CFM IT IS ALMOST COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT TRAILERS HAVE BLOW OUTS VERY OFTEN. I HAVE NEVER HAD A BLOW OUT ON ANY VEHICLE AFTER 46 YEARS OF DRIVING. WHY DID I HAVE ONE ON MY TRAILER WHICH HAD PERFECTLY GOOD LOOKING TIRES WHICH WERE PROPERLY INFLATED? I SUSPECT THE MANUFACTURES ARE GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING JUNK TIRES BECAUSE THEY CAN BLAME IT ON OTHER THINGS. IE. UNDER INFLATION, OVERLOADING ETC. IT IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN A BLOW OUT OCCURS AND COULD LEAVE YOU ON A BAD HIGHWAY TRYING TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I SURE HOPE YOU PEOPLE CAN START REGULATING THIS AND PROTECTING THE CONSUMER. JAY HAINDEL
