NHTSA Complaint #10157445 — 2004 KEYSTONE ZEPPELIN

I OWN A MOUNTIANEER TRAILER, MADE BY KEYSTONE. I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS. THE FIRST PRONLEM IS THAT I HAVE HAD TWO BLOWOUTS ON THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRAILER. THEY ARE MISSION, LOAD MAX RADIALS, ST225/75R15. THESE TIRES HAVE LESS THEN 4000 MILES ON THEM. THE FIRST BLOWOUT WAS ON THE WAY TO CONNECTICUT FROM FLORIDA. THE STEEL BELTS CAME THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. A MOTORIST TOLD ME I HAD A FLAT WHICH I CHANGED. ON MAY 11, 2006 MY WIFE AND I WERE IN KENTUCKY AND WE HAD A SEVERE BLOWOUT OF THE SAME KIND OF TIRE. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER, HOWEVER THE BLOWOUT CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO OUR TRAILER. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS WITH KEYSTONE TRAILERS. THE GVW OF THE TRAILER IS 11,100 LBS. THE TIRES WHICH COME WITH THE THE TRAILER ARE MISSIONS, LOADMAX RADIALS, ST 225/75R15. EACH TIRE IS RATED AT 2540 PER TIRE. THERE ARE FOUR TIRES FOR A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 10,160. KEYSTONE IS PUTTING ON TIRES THAT DO N OT CARRY THE GVW. I CONSTANTLY CHECK MY TIRES FOR AIR PRESSURE. THE TIRES ARE RATED AT 65 PSI MAX COLD. I RUN THEM AT 62 PSI FIGURING THAT THE TEMPATURE WILL RISE DURING TRAVELING. IS THERE ANYTHING NHTSA CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM AND PREVENT OTHERS FROM HAVING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT? WOULD YOU ADVISE ME TO GO FROM A D RATE TIRE TO AN E RATED TIRE? THANK YOU.... THE TIRES ARE MANUFACTURED BY TIRECO, INC. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL THEM BUT THE DO NOT RESPOND. KEYSTONE DID RESPOND, HOWEVER THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER OF TIRECO, INC AND STATED THAT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT HELP FURTHUR. TIRECO, INC TELEPHONE NUMBER IS 800-227-8925
