NHTSA Complaint #10807928 — 2015 LOAD TRAIL FLAT TRAILER 40FT

OCTOBER 16,2015 DRIVER WAS TAKING A LOAD AND 2 TIRES BLOW OUT DUE TO A DEFECT IN SIDEWALL AND THE BEAD WAS BAD. THEN ON NOVEMBER 5, 2015 DRIVER WAS TAKING A LOAD TO ITS DESTINATION WHEN HE HAD 3 TIRES BLOW OUT AND WHEN THE SERVICE MAN CAME OUT TO CHANGE THEM HE FOUND ANOTHER ONE READY TO BLOW OUT. ALL SIX TIRES HAD THE SAME DEFECT IN SIDEWALL AND BEAD NOT GOOD. BOTH SERVICE REPAIRMEN SAID THE SAME THING THAT THEY WERE JUNK TIRES. THEY WERE 1 YEAR OLD. LOAD TRAIL REIMBURSED ME FOR THE FIRST 2 TIRES, BUT REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE OTHER 4 TIRES. THEIR WARRANTY IS NO GOOD . THEY TRY TO SAY IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD, WHICH IS NOT TRUE AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES. I RECOMMEND THAT NO ONE BUY GLADIATOR TIRES, ESPECIALLY MADE AT API. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
