Had a BFG Commercial TA LT slip a tread a month ago and now just blew another a day ago. Dealer recommended changing the remaining three which I did.
When he looked up recalls on the BFG they all the sizes but mine on the list, go figure.
Treads on all tires where mint, maybe a 7000 miles on them BUT they have been on the trailer for 5 years
Made in America to.
There really should be an inquiry on why trailer tires don't last.
And don't say they weren't maintained, covered, 303 protected and religious pressure monitoring.
The only thing I did notice leading up to these failures was a temp difference (maybe 10 degrees) between slide side and non slide side, plus a few degrees difference between front and back. Now with basically 4 new tires they are more equal all around.

Seeing more and more threads about the BFG failures. I suggest you go to the NHTSA web site and report. Maybe they will eventually have a recall. Have you called BFG to see if they will assist with costs? Please report back if they do.
