All other tire brand problems will result in a claim on your insurance and the next thing you claim will cause your rates to go thru the roof.
GY's for all my RV's!
I have a friend that had a BFG Commercial TA fail at milepost 89 on I10 in Arizona this winter. And Michelin/BFG is paying for his trailer damage and a new tire! Discount Tire in Mesa handled all the paper work and shipping the failed tire back to them. Seems they have taken a page out of GY book, or it was aways there.
He installed XPS Ribs in place of the TAs, which had been installed in 2010 replacing Marathons on his then new trailer.
If ST tires have not been a problem, then why did Carlisle and Tow Max just make a big deal out of adding the nylon overlay????? Which GY told me was added to the Marathon for years ago.
It is VERY important to keep a failed tire until you can get a dealer to ship it back to the manufacturer. Also as FE has pointed out in the past, report tire failures to your trailer manufacturer, as there is a period of one or two years that they are requirement to pass that onto the NHTSA.
One of the problems is that way to few of those tire problems get reported. Read a few of the reports here by insert Carlisle and Radial Trail and see if they do not sound a lot like what we read here on RV.net. Then put in Michelin and XPS Rib and read about the one complaint filed for a motorhome owner or try to find a complaint about the Bridgestone Duravis R250. BTW, if you input BFG and the TA, you will see the recall that BFG started themselves on the TA and Uniroyal HD/H. Inputting Power King and Towmax creatings some reading. Mission and Duro create items to read.
