I HAVE HAD THREE TIRES EXPLODE WHILE PULLING MY 2013 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. ONE TIRE FAILED IN MARCH OF 2015 AND I RECENTLY HAD TWO MORE FAIL JULY THE 3RD OF 2015. I HAD TO BUY NEW TIRES WHILE TRAVELING. THE TWO THAT FAILED IN JULY DID OVER $5,000.00 IN DAMAGE. I AM VERY MAINTENANCE MINDED AND THE TIRES WERE WHAT APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER SAYS NO TIRES NO CLAIMS. THEY DO NOT WANT ANY RECORD. HOW MANY PEOPLE KEEP A HOT, HUGE BALL OF WIRE WHEN THEY FAIL. THE COMPANY KNEW ABOUT MY LOSS THREE DAYS AFTERWARDS AND MADE EVERYTHING MY PROBLEM. THREE OUT OF FOUR TIRES SUGGEST A TIRE ISSUE AND THE COMPANY WILL NOT LISTEN. AFTER I COMPLAINED ENOUGH THEY SAID SEND IN THE GOOD TIRE AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT. NO ONE EVEN INTERVIEWED ME TO SEE WHAT WENT ON. THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS MIGHT MAKE THEM PULL SOME TIRES. WHEN THESE TIRES BLOW AT 65 MPH THEY ARE DANGEROUS. ..UPDATED 10/27/15*BF
TIRE BLOW OUT. I WAS PULLING MY CAMPER AT 60 MPH, JUST N OF THE FLA LINE ON 1-95. THE ROAD TEMPERATURE WAS MODERATE. I CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE BEFORE LEAVING SAVANNAH, 80 PSI. THE TIRE HAD APPROXIMATELY 4500 MILES ON IT, IT WAS NOT WORN AND WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE TIRE BURST WITH A LOUD NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY DEFLATED. I HAD TO CHANGE THE TIRE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WE REPLACED THE TIRE IN JAX FLA. THE TECHNICIAN EXAMINED THE TIRE AND SAID HE HAD NO CLUE WHY IT FAILED. I AM TIRED OF TRAILER TIRES BLOWING OUT. I HAVE HAD THREE TIRE FAILURES ON MY BOAT TRAILER/ CAMPER OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS AND IT IS DANGEROUS. IS THERE A SAFE TRAILER TIRE ON THE MARKET? I PLAN TO START REPORTING THESE FROM NOW ON.
