Forgive me for being a novice, but had I known these were cheap chinese 5 ply tires when I purchased this rig, I would have demanded dealer replace with something better before I drove out of lot.
I know there have been other complaints about Tomax tires. Replace them if you have them!
The challenge these days is to find any trailer tire not made in china.
Sorry for your aggravation and your pain. Truthfully you learned of the cheap RV issues like most of us....The hard way!
It's really not a Keystone issue the issues is industry wide.
While many tires from China are cheap it's not truly just a China thing either.
I have very high quality tires on my rig that were made in China.
Many including myself have giving up on ST tires and prefer LT tires.
While there is a lot of discussion on RV trailer tires, there is not 100% agreement on what to do about the issue.
I imagine it will take government regulation to force change. The RV industry is not going to reform itself without outside influence when it come to providing quality tires vs. the cheapest things they can find.
Don't let some of the resident guru's get the best of you. For the most part members are helpful and will steer you in the right direction.
Even those members that think it is your fault that you rig came with marginal inferior ST tires mean well....LOL
