HAD 2 BLOWOUTS ON SAME TIRE WITHIN 500 MILES, THE DAY AFTER WE BOUGHT IT FROM CAMPING WORLD. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

OK PURCHASED THIS TRAILER NEW. AFTER ABOUT 1500 MILES WE HAD A BLOWOUT WITHOUT KNOWING IT ON THE FRONT AXLE PASSENGER SIDE. WE DISCOVERED IT WHEN WE PULLED INTO A CAMPGROUND. THERE WAS ONLY SIDEWALLS LEFT. WE PUT THE SPARE ON AND WENT TO A TIRE STORE THE NEXT DAY. WE REPLACED THE TIRE AND THE OTHER SIDE ON THAT AXLE SO THE TIRES WOULD MATCH. WE TOOK SEVERAL SHORT TRIPS AROUND THE AREA AND THEN IN THE SPRING OF 2017. ON THE WAY HOME WITH ONCE AGAIN ABOUT 1500 MILES ON THE NEW TIRES THE TIRE MINDERS ALERTED UP THAT WE WERE LOSING AIR IN THE TIRE ON THE FRONT AXLE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. AT THE SAME TIME A CAR PULLED ALONG SIDE AND TOLD US THAT WE HAD THRONE A TREAD. WE PULLED OVER AND WE
THE TANDEM AXLE TRAILERS' FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE IS DAMAGED BY THE SLIDE OUT BRACKET WHEN THE SUSPENSION IS COMPRESSED WHILE BEING TOWED ON ROUGH PAVEMENT, POT HOLES, ETC.

I EXPERIENCED A TIRE FAILURE ON MY TRAVEL TRAILER. RIDGWAY SPORT ST, ST225/75R15, DOT # 1KMM16A, MANUFACTURE DATE 2615. I WAS TRAVELING 63MPH, MY TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SHOWED 53PSI. THE TIRE QUICKLY BEGAN LOSING PRESSURE AS ALERTED BY MY TPMS. LATER I EXAMINED THE TIRE AND FOUND TREAD SEPARATION AND SINGLE STRANDS OF METAL POKING THROUGH THE TREAD. THE TREAD PATTERN WAS ALSO DISTORTED. I HAVE PICTURES AND THE TIRE. I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURE AS I NEED TO PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES.
