well as a new wheel to serve as a second spare. So at this point, the trailer has 1 original tire, original spare and two new tires. The next day, just outside Vail, Co, a third tire blew (passenger side rear), I called a tow truck and the tow truck driver took me to a tire store Given 3 of the original 4 tires blew, I had no confidence in the remaining original tire. So, I purchased 2 new tires (replacing the one original passenger side that had not blown along with the blown tire)and put them on the RV. All original tires had been replaced. I have since also replaced the original spare.. So I have a couple questions I hope you can answer for me. First, I know the tires were made in China. Second, I have a picture of the blown tire I wanted to attach for your inspection as well as a tire that shows the defective valve stem I will file additional complaints for the other 2 tires
Hi , My wife and I purchased a 2021 Venture Stratus in December 2020 from Stoltfus RV located at 1335 Wilmington PikeWest Chester, PA 19382. Since our purchase, we have traveled from our home in Wilmington, De. to Cave Creek, Az 3 times (and return),Wilmington, De. to Mebane, N.C. 2 times (and return) and Wilmington , De. to Cincinnati, Ohio once (and return). The total number of miles traveled is <10,000. Prior to each trip, I check over my vehicles which includes making sure the towing vehicle and Venture Stratus tires are inflated to the correct pressure (65 psi for Venture Stratus). The tires did not appear worn or distressed prior to any trip This year I left Cave Creek, Az for Wilmington De. in early May . On my trip home, just outside Rifle, Co., one of the front trailer tires on the driver side blew. The tire was changed to the original spare. About 15 miles down. the road in Glenwood Springs, Co., second tire blew (second original driver side rear). I purchased a new tire to replace the blown tire as well as a new wheel to serve as a second spare. So at this point, the trailer has 1 original tire, original spare and two new tires.
