3-axle tire wear.

I had Goodyear Marathons that were 10 years old and had about 10,000 miles on them before I went to G614's. Then I sold the Marathons. They "looked" fine. They were on a tri-axle at about 23,000 pounds loaded.

Well, i drove the TH 6 hrs to Eclipse a few weeks ago for the axle issue. I have to say, they were very eager to find out why the axles were bending. Cant say the same about Lipert. They told Eclipse they were on there own. So, Eclipse is replacing the axle's with 7k axle's. So, they are replacing 3 axle's, 6 tires and rims, and reinforcing a few things with the suspension. Hopefully i will be a "happy camper" when all is said and done and i can take a trip without KNOWING i have to take it back into the shop when we get home.

Thanks for all the info. The tires say to run a max 80psi cold. I run 75psi cold. The TH is a 2013 Attitude 39TSG 3-axle. We made it down to Johnson Valley but, we were 15 miles from home when the rt rr tire blew. Come to find out when they replaced the rear axle and Trail America tires. They installed 235/85 r16, E-load. The other 4 tires are 235/80 R16 E-load. The tires they installed only had 860 miles on them before it blew. Trail America is made by a Co. called Treadit. They were very helpful. They are sending 3 new tires out. Once i get the tires installed the TH is heading down to Eclipse in Riverside. Not to happy with Eclipse. And maybe its just MY TH but, we've had it for a year. Used it 8 times and every time we use it it ends up in the shop. Not once have we been able to come home from a trip and just put it away issue free!! I hope by taking it to Eclipse i wont have any more issues!! LOL. We've towed it approx 5400 miles, 1444 mi of that was to take it in for repairs!! Sorry for the rambling. Had to vent.

I got 5 months and 5500 miles out of mine before one blew out. Luckily it didn't do any damage.
The tires might have made it to 9K miles before the tread was gone, but I replaced all with load range G tires since the wheels are rated for 110 PSI. Why they put junk E range ST tires on wheels rated for G range tires, I'll never know. :r

I'm hoping to get a year out of my BlowMax's, then I'm upgrading to LT's.

I got about 8,000 miles and less than 2 years out of the Carlisle ST tires that came on my toyhauler, which Carlisle says is not out of line for their ST tires.

Needless to say my next tires will not be Carlisle, or any other, ST tire.

My tires on my triple axle were wearing down on the outside of the tires on just the passenger side? They were the stock tires and I had a blow out at about 4k miles on them. I replaced them all with a good quality tire. Do you think I need an alignment or do I chalk it up to cheap tires?

YES! Get it aligned. Do you want to risk ruining new tires, for the $100 cost of an alignment? Not me.

Take it to a heavy duty truck/trailer alignment shop, where they do over the road semis and trailers.
