2013 FOREST RIVER AVIATOR WRIGHT FLYER — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

WE WERE TRAVELING TO THE FL KEYS FROM ST SIMONS IS, GA WHEN WE HAD THREE [3] BLOWOUTS ON POWERKING TOWMAX TIRES. OUR SPEED WAS BETWEEN 60 AND 65 MPH AND ALL TIRES WERE CHECKED PRIOR TO LEAVING ON TRIP. TST TIRE MONITOR SHOWED THEY WERE WITHIN PARAMETERS OF PRESSURE AND TEMP. NO WARNING WHEN THE FIRST OR SECOND TIRE EXPLODED. THIRD TIRE GAVE US A WARNING IN TIME TO STOP WITHOUT DAMAGE TO TRAVEL TRAILER. THE FIRST EXPLOSION TOOK OUT THE WHEEL WELL, PROPANE LINE AND WIRING HARNESS. SECOND EXPLOSION DID NO DAMAGE TO TRAILER, BUT CAUSED US TO HAVE TO CROSS THREE LANES OF VERY BUSY TRAFFIC [MIAMI] TO PULL OVER AND STOP. OTHER CARS WERE SLAMMING ON BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING US. THESE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 3,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TRAVEL TRAILER HAS A 7,800 DRY WEIGHT WITH 3,300 LBS CARGO LOAD LIMIT. WE WERE DRY ON BOTH GRAY AND BLACK WATER TANKS, AND 10-15 GALS ON FRESHWATER TANK. OUR CARGO LOAD AS WAS ABOUT 800-900 LBS, WELL WITHIN THE LIMITS. THE TIRES LITERALLY BLEW APART. I HAVE PIX OF TWO. THE THIRD WAS LEFT BESIDE THE ROAD AS IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND WE WERE IN A VERY BAD AREA OF TOWN AND IT WAS RAINING HARD. I DON'T BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCE THAT ALL THREE TIRES WERE "GOOD TIRES" AND ELECTED TO BLOWOUT WITHIN 350 MILES. WE NEED RELIEF AS I STILL HAVE TWO MORE OF THESE TIRES [ONE ON GROUND AND ONE SPARE] WE NEED YOUR ADVISE AND HELP! THANK YOU. *TR
