WHILE GOING DOWN NY THRU WAY AT 65MPH MY POWER KING STX TIRE EXPLODED AND BLEW OFF THE WHEELWELL AND FLARE TO THE TUNE OF $1400.00 NOT INCLUDING THE TIRE. THIS TIRE HAD LESS THEN 1000 MILES AND WAS 1 YEAR OLD. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER SHOWED ME ANOTHER POWER KING TIRE THAT BLEW APART THE SAME WAY 2 WEEKS AGO. CLEARLY THIS TIRE IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE TRAILER THEY WERE INSTALLED ON FROM THE DEALER.

POWER KING TOWMAX ST 235-80-R16. DOT 83B5 GPB DATE CODE 0313 WHILE DRIVING 62 MPH 90 MILES FROM HOME TIRE EXPLODED CAUSING RV WHEEL WELL DAMAGE THIS WAS THE 2ND TIRE IN 2 TRIPS. TIRES WERE INSPECTED BEFORE TRIP AND PRESSURE SET TO 80 PSI. REMAINING TIRES STILL LOOK NEW BUT WILL BE REPLACED BECAUSE I CANNOT TRUST THE POWER KING TIRES. THE RV MANUFACTURER IS UNRESPONSIVE TO TIRE PROBLEMS. I THINK THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THE ST RADIAL PROBLEM ESPECIALLY THE ONES MADE IN CHINA.

WE WERE TRAVELING I-85 NORTH BOUND OUT OF ATLANTA GA.ABOUT 60-65 MPH. ABOUT ONE HOUR INTO OUR TRIP HOME WHEN A TRUCK PULLED UP BESIDE US. HE POINTED AT OUR CAMPER AND TO PULL OVER ASAP. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WERE SHOCKED TO SEE BOTH RIGHT SIDE TIRES HAD GROWN TO WHERE THEY WERE RUBBING EACH OTHER. AFTER ABOUT 4 HRS TOTAL WE MADE IT TO A SAFE PLACE TO SPEND THE NIGHT, IT WAS TO LATE TO GET ANY WORK DONE. THE NEXT MORNING WE HAD TWO OF THE TIRES REPLACED AND AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THEY RECOMMENDED WE REPLACE ALL. THEY SAID THE BELTS OR SOMETHING WERE COMING APART INSIDE AND THAT WE WERE LUCKY NO TIRES BLEW OUT. WE HAVE TIRE SENSORS ON OUR TIRES THAT TELL THE PSI AND TEMPE
