Here is my damage

Wow and the rig is only about a year old. Just for fun look to see how OLD the other tires are. Could they have had some old ones in stock that they used on your rig?

wow, if those were car tires they would be recalled.

Have you considered going to LT Truck tires?

oh that is heartbreaking to see that damage.
so sorry but you will get it dealt with and move forward :)

Is your wheel ok?

Wheel seems ok. I have checked into LT tires but I dont really want to buy new 16" rims, and Im not sure that I have much more room between the top of the tire and wheel well. I did look at the date on the tires and all four were made in April of 2011. We bought it brand new and this is our second season with it. I was always skeptical of all the talk about chinese made tires but obviously there is something to it. I check my tire pressure religiously. I am OCD about appearance and up keep of the trailer so everything was well cared for. Its even stored inside so the only time the tires are exposed to the elements are when we are camping. Totally ruined my Thursday night, but at least the rest of the weekend was good.

The tires have a 5 year material/workmanship warranty. Did you contact Towmax? Curious because I own a set of them.

Sorry about the damage but the Maxxiss will be just fine. No need to go to LT's.

get your money from the warranty and move on...

No because I dont want to take the chance of having another one explode and do more damage. Luckily I can fix the damage done this go round, I might not be as fortunate next time. Take a look here. You may consider ditching those POS tires before it happens to you. Towmax failures

X2. And a tpms may not be a bad idea also. Even with good tires, its possible to pick up a nail or other debris that can bring grief.:B
