NHTSA Complaint #10383485 — 2007 KEYSTONE MONTANA

THE FIRST SET OF TIRES FREESTAR RADIAL S/T 235/80/16 LOAD RANGE E WERE REPLACED BY MISSION TIRE AFTER 3280 MILE BECAUSE OF SIDEWALL FAILURE, THE TIRES SENT TO REPLACE THE BAD ONES LASTED 1680 MILES. THEY HAVE TREAD SEPARATION AND WALL RUPTURE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO RECOUP MY TIRE COST. THESE TIRES ARE VERY UNSAFE FOR HIGHWAY USE,BECAUSE OF BLOWOUT OR TREAD LOSS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO ONE WAS INJURED BECAUSE OF THE TIRE PROBLEMS BUT VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN. SEVEN OF THE EIGHT TIRE I HAVE HAD WERE A DEATH TRAP IN MY OPINION AND I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER TIRE MANUFACTURED BY NANKANG OR SOLD THROUGH MISSION TIRE. THE TIRES IN THIS COMPLAINT ARE ALL TIRES ON THE TRAILER TANDEM AXEL FRONT AND REAR. IF THERE HAD BEEN A BLOWOUT BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE OR EVEN DEATH COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR
