Just received word that Greenball denied my claim due to the cause was impact related (i.e. pot hole). So, I guess their tires are not produced to travel on roads. Funny thing is, I've never hit a "significant" pot hole. Oh well, what are you gonna do?
For the poster that feels good switching to Maxxis E rated tires, I wish you better luck than me. Mine had sidewall separation after 26 months (lost 2 at the same time). Not over weight, under inflated, etc. As a matter of fact, Discount Tire replaced all of them under the mfgr's warranty.
Never had a China BOMB until these Tow Master POS tires. At least when the Maxxis' went they didn't take out the fender skirt.
Gonna try Commercial TA's next. Just crossing my fingers.
I sure am glad I ran across your post. The junk tires on my camper need replacing and I was looking at Tow Master tires as a replacement. I believe all brands fail at one time or another, but a company that won't stand behind its product is a deal killer for sure. Thanks again for sharing.
There is not much difference between any of the bunch of 35 pounders (Marathon, Duro, Tow Max, Mission, Tow Master, Load Star etc etc). The only ST remaining on the market that is different from the others is the Maxxis (those manufactured in Thailand). They however are not as good as most LT's if you can find one that meets your weight requirement. The Marathon at least has a company that will repair your rv and has B/M stores across the country.
If you read this thread carefully and learn about the K factor, then you can decide if you want to use a tire that is loaded to that extent!
