Most Recent Complaints
THE PILLAR STICKER PLACED BY ROADTREK INCORRECTLY DESCRIBED THE TIRES AS LT225/75R16 AND RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES OF 65/80, WHEN IN FACT THE FACTORY TIRES SUPPLIED WERE LT245/7516 WITH LOWER RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES (50/65) FOR THE LOADED VEHICLE. ROADTREK PLACED THEIR STICKER (AT TIME OF RV CONVERSION) OVER WHAT I ASSUME TO BE THE PARTIALLY PEALED OFF (SPRINTER/MERCEDES) FACTORY PILLAR STICKER, WHICH WAS READABLE THROUGH THE ROADTREK STICKER AND INDICATED A TIRE SIZE OF LT245/75R16. THIS WAS ONLY DISCOVERED BY ME LAST MONTH JUNE 2012, WHEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES AT 35,000 MILES DUE TO EXTREME WEAR (3/32 ALL FOUR). I BELIEVE THE INCORRECT PILLAR STICKER PRESSURE RECOMMENDATION IS A DIRECT CAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO RUNNING THE TIRES AT HIGHER THAN APPROPRIATE PRESSURES. *TR
