Reporting a tire failure and any damaged caused by it, in itself, answers nothing.
The accusations far outweigh the known causes of RV trailer tire failures.
Tread separations are high on the list of known failures. However, the cause of the tread separations are not investigated. The most common causes for tread separations are low air pressure - overloading - and excessive speed. If a poster can verify without a doubt that none of those conditions ever existed with their tires than why did they not turn the tire in for expert examination? Until a valid reason for the tread separation is determined the complaint is just another unsubstantiated accusation.
Remember, even though an owner currently maintains their tires within the parameters needed to achieve an expected life expectancy, it may not be attainable. Tire damage is cumulative and unforgiving. Past damage - even though unseen - ultimately takes its toll in the end.
Well I know what my trailer weighs and have the scale tickets to prove it. I don't travel over the tires limits and you will need to take my word on that and finally because. I have a TPMS as I suggested earlier in the thread, I know that the air pressure wasn't low. So that leaves the China bombs as I have not had tire problems since changing to Maxxis tires. But I still say the best money you will ever spend is on a TPMS
If the tires were reliable none of this would be needed.
