NHTSA Complaint #10543113 — 2012 KEYSTONE MONTANA

I HAVE A 2012 KEYSTONE COUGAR 324RLB AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN AUG. 2011. IT HAS ST235/8016 POWER-KING TOW-MAX STR TIRES (DOT 83B5 GPB 1211) THAT CAME NEW WITH THE TRAILER. THESE TIRES HAVE VERY LOW MILES ON THEM, LESS THAN 5000 MILES. ON LABOR DAY 2013 I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE CURB SIDE REAR WHEEL WHILE COMING BACK FROM A CAMPING TRIP. THE BLOWOUT CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO MY TRAILER AND WHEN THE TREAD CAME OFF THE TIRE WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE AND CUT THE ELECTRIC BRAKE LINE. I ALWAYS INSPECT MY TIRES BEFORE EVERY TRIP AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY INFLATED TO 80LBS. PER THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION. THE TRAILER IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW GETTING FIXED BUT NOW I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE OTHER THREE TIRES AND THE SPARE THAT ARE STILL ON IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THESE PARTICULAR TIRES IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THEM AND THAT IS WHY I AM POSTING THIS. I THINK THAT WHEN I GET MY TRAILER BACK I AM GOING TO REPLACE ALL TIRES WITH A BETTER BRAND. *TR
