NEXEN TIRES LT235/80R. HAD A RIGHT FRONT TIRE SEPARATE WITH 10,232 MILES ON IT. AS SOON AS THAT ONE WAS REPLACE PUT ON ANOTHER 220 MILE AND THE OTHER FRON TIRE SEPARATES. NEXEN WILL NOT HONOR AND CLAIM AND WILL NOT BACK THEIR PRODUCT. WHEN THE SECOND TIRE SEPARATED I WAS PULLING A 15K POUND 5TH WHEEL ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS LIKE I HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. THESE ARE DANGEROUS TIRES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. HOWEVER I AM NOT WAITING WITH THIS SAFETY ALL TIRES ARE BEING REPLACED. BOTH TIMES DURING SEPARATION I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
