2021 FOREST RIVER CHEROKEE Tires Problems

ST 225/75R15 One driver side tire blew in May/2025 which caused extensive damage to the RV floor and sidewall. I replaced and did not file a claim. My family was in the tow vehicle when the blowout occurred. Debris was thrown across the highway and I had no room on the side of the highway to change the tire. Police called. Yesterday July 14/2025, the spare tire blew up all on its own while at a campground. It was on the back of the camper not being used. The spare tire cover was destroyed. Neighbors thought a propane tank exploded. Anybody walking by could have been seriously injured. I did a search and found a recall for these tires.

Had for approximately 3 years. Spare tire never on ground but suddenly bulging.

Camped all weekend, and started to return home. Merged onto highway 10 miles from campground, and 2.5 miles onto the highway at 65 mph, passenger side front tire blew the tread off and split tire from bead to bead perpendicular to tread. Tires were at 80psi before trip. ST225/75r15

Camped all weekend, and started to return home. Drove half an hour from changing the last tire and lost the driver side front. Traveling 65 mph on the highway it blew and split the tire from bead to bead perpendicular to tread. Tires were at 80psi before trip. ST225/75r15

Castle Rock ST225/75r15 Was traveling with a 2021 Forest River RV and had a rapid loss of tire pressure and complete tread separation. Tires were at the proper pressure and driving below the speed rating of 70 mph. Incident occurred about an hour into trip, but less than 15 minutes after a stop and check of tires. Even a flat or picking up something in the road should not cause a full scale tread separation. These are just poorly made tires. No symptoms of problems, just a cheap tire.

Shortly after buying the camper used in April of 2024 on the way home I had a tire blow out going about 60-65 miles. Date code of tire is 1520. The tire tread looked good and confirmed correct amount of tire psi before leaving the dealership with salesman. While camper was parked, resting on 2x6 boards, not sitting directly on the ground. Where the tire was touching the board the tread completely split open. Date code also 1520.

This is a summary of 2 passenger side tire failures: First tire failure: On August 29, 2023 I packed up my Forest River Cherokee Black Label travel trailer in Perry, FL and relocated it to Tallahassee, FL. On the way to Tallahassee on Highway 27 maybe a mile east of Capps, Fl noticed some tire debris behind me in side mirrors. My girlfriend was following me, called and alerted me something appeared to be wrong and tire and other debris was coming off the bottom right side of the coach. I was unable to pull over immediately due to traffic safety concerns and lack of side lane for parking. I was able to park at Hwy 19 to I-10 exit at Capps, where assessed the situation. The tire and rim was totally destroyed along with parts of the wheel well and skirt. I was able to install the spare wheel...

Three tires blew up within a few hours of each other while traveling on I81/I75, the tires are available for inspection at my personal residence. With a complete blow out each time finding a safe place to pull off the interstate was challenging, slowing traffic and speeding vehicles. The tires were replaced while on the side of a busy interstate risking one's life in the process. The tires have been inspected by 2 different tire stores of whom stated the tires are poorly made and "garbage". The insurance company has been notified with a claim number issues however, the RV can not be inspected until December 15th (first available date). Tires are continuously monitored with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with readings of 79-82 psi. There were absolutely no warnings or symptoms of an impending failure of the tires.
