What owners report
Two simultaneous tire failures on 10/2/26. Westlake Super ST model tires manufacture date 01/23. Tire size ST225/75R15 speed rating 75 mph. Pulling our single axle travel trailer home from a trip when two tires delaminated consecutively and caused substantial damage to the trailer. The tires are roughly 3-1/2 years old and are meticulously maintained to manufacturerâs specifications. They are covered when not in use. I check inflation pressures monthly and pre trip. Had to pay a roadside assistance company $450 to bring a new spare and install it in a very dangerous location beside 2 major highways because the original was already on the trailer from the first failure an hour or so prior.
Axle assembly does not meet Federal Vehicle Safety requirements. Vehicle is rated at GVWR/PNVB 8995LB and axle assemble ratings are 4400 each. Two axles at 4400 each is 8800 LB, see axle tag photos. The leaf springs are rated at 3500 LBS with both being 7000 LB, see axle tag Leaf Spring Designation 7225 LB. I have 4,427 documented miles on the recreation vehicle and just had the bearings repacked and two out of the four bearings show scoring and discoloration from extreme over heating indicating improper calculation of load bearing components. The manufacture's own labels show the suspension is not rated or configured for the RV's requirements.
Upon inspection of the frame based on other complaints of frame cracking, I found approximate 2" cracks in the steel I beam frame rail above the leaf spring hangers. I read that this is indicative of frame flex and compromised or wrong steel thickness of the I beam. Im currently working with the manufacture to resolve this, but I'm concerned of the quality of the entire frame rails and the safety/integrity of possible repairs.
