What owners report
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 IN GEORGIA, I HAD TWO TRAILER TIRES BLOW OUT APPROX 100 MILES APART. BRAND IS CASTLE ROCK BY LIONSHEAD. WAS DRIVING WELL UNDER THE SPEED RATING OF 75, THE TRAILER WAS ALSO LIGHTLY LOADED. TIRE PRESSURE WAS ALWAYS CHECKED AND WAS CORRECT AT THE TIME OF BLOWOUTS. TIRES WERE ABOUT 2.5 YEARS OLD, ABOUT 8000 MILES. TREAD LOOKED GREAT BEFORE FAILURE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON OCCURANCE AND NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE, AND GET THESE DANGEROUS TIRES OFF THE ROAD. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WAS INFLICTED ON MY CAMPER BY THE BLOWOUTS. *DT VIN UNKNOWN *JB
I PURCHASED A 2018 SABRE COBALT 37BHQ FIFTH WHEEL IN MAY 2018. I HAVE TAKEN THIS FIFTH WHEEL ON 5 TRIPS, ALL OF WHICH WERE LESS THAN 50 MILES FROM HOME. ON THE FIFTH TRIP I ARRIVED AT THE CAMPGROUND AND NOTICED THE RF TIRE TREAD HAD COME OFF IN A LARGE SECTION AND PARTS OF THE STEEL BELT WERE EXPOSED. I ENDED UP REPLACING ALL FOUR TIRES BECAUSE I READ OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM RV OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES (CASTLE ROCK ST235/80R16).*DT*JB
WHILE DRIVING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 80 ABOUT THREE MILES OUTSIDE OF TRUCKEE CALIFORNIA OUR BACK TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. IT PROCEEDED TO SLAP AGAINST THE WIRING OF THE SILDE OUT THAT SUPPLIES ALL OUR POWER TO OUR KITCHEN. IT ALSO PULLED THE BRAKE WIRES FROM THEIR HOUSING AND CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE. THE TIRE NEVER TO BLOW AND I STILL HAVE IT AT THE FULL PSI THAT IS RECOMMENDED. THE TREAD SIMPLY SEPARATED FROM THE WHOLE TIRE AND PROCEEDED TO CAUSE MAYHEM.
HEADING TO GO CAMPING DRIVING 55 MPH WITH MY SON AND WIFE FOLLOWING US IN THEIR CAR, THE RIGHT FRONT TRAILER TIRE BLEW ON MY CAMPER. THIS CAUSED THE FENDER TO BE TORN OFF AND SOME OF THE SKIRTING TO BE BEND AND SCUFFED UP FROM THE RV. SPARE WAS PUT ON AND WE CONTINUED TO THE CAMPGROUND. NOW INVESTIGATING WHAT TO DO TO PROCEED. I HAVE NOT NOTIFIED INSURANCE YET AND MAY ATTEMPT TO ORDER PARTS FOR RV AND REPAIR MYSELF. ALL OF THE TIRES WILL GET REPLACED BEFORE MY NEXT CAMPING TRIP. THE RV IS 1 YEAR AND A MONTH OLD.
