NHTSA Complaint #10706713 — 2014 PRIME TIME SPARTAN

LEFT HOME FOR A WEEKEND TRIP TO BANDERA TEXAS WITH MY FIFTH WHEEL RV. CHECKED ALL TIRE PRESSURES PRIOR TO PULLING OUT TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE ALL AT MANFACTURE SPEC'S (80PSI) GOT APPROX. 40 MILES FROM HOME AND HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THIS WAS A REAL SURPRISE TO ME SINCE THE TIRES WERE BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAD LESS THAN 1500 MILES ON THEM. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW OUT IT CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF THE RV. THESE TIRES APPEAR TO BE A VERY POOR QUALITY. I WAS TRAVELING WITH A FRIEND THAT HAS A NEW RV ALSO AND HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE WAY BACK FROM OUR WEEKEND TRIP. HE HAD THE SAME TIRES ON HIS RV AS I DID ON MINE. THE MANUFACTURE OF THE TIRE IS TOW MAX POWER KING 235/80R/16. I REALLY FEEL THEY NEED TO STOP PUTTING THESE TIRES ON RV'S SEEING THAT THE DON'T LAST. *TR
