NHTSA Complaint #10218247 — 2007 FIFTH WHEELS DESIGNER

I HAVE A 2006 ALFA TRAVEL TRAILER THAT HAS 4 CARLISE TIRES ON IT. THIS TRAILER HAS LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON IT, THAT IS ONLY 2 TRIPS. A TRUCKER PULLED UP NEXT TO US AND TOLD US THAT WE HAD TIRE PROBLEMS. I LOOKED AND THE CURB SIDE TIRES WERE SMOKING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE TREAD OF ONE OF THE TIRES HAD SWELLED AND WAS CONTACTING THE OTHER TIRE. THE TREAD WOULD HAVE COME OFF IF THE AXLES WOULD HAVE BEEN FARTHER APART. I ALWAYS INFLATE MY TIRES TO THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE AND I AM A REAL STICKLER ABOUT CHECKING THEM. LOOK ON THE INTERNET! THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND ARE GOING TO CAUSE MANY DEATHS IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE. IF THAT TIRE WOULD HAVE BLOWN ON THE ROAD WE WERE ON I HAVE NO DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE FLIPPED!! THIS IS SO SCARY AND IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR
