Castle Rock
My new TT came with Castle Rock brand of tires. Some reviews say they are great with no problems others say beware. Guess very few manufacturers put Goodyears on at the factory.
Replace them sooner than later. Always check air pressure prior to leaving anywhere. Do a visual inspection of the tread. Look for strange bulges in the tires. Always include your spare in your checks.
I did all the above. The first tire to go was the spare, i had grown a large bulge. Had it replaced. Went on trip, 1st tire blew out 15 minutes from my destination on a very busy I-26 in Charleston, SC. This blow out caused over $4k in damage and took almost 9 months to get everything fixed. 2nd tire blew 15 minutes from getting home on the same trip as the 1st blow out. Occurred on a very bust I-77 in Columbia, SC. Luckily, this one did not damage.
Lost 3 Castle Rocks in a 2 week period. I did everything you are supposed to do in regards to caring for my tires and do not overload my TT.
