TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FOREST RIVER SIERRA TRAILER. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES SUDDENLY EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE THE REAR END OF THE TRAILER WOULD LEAN TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE TRAVELING. THE TRAILER HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND THE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
WE WERE TRAVELING APPROX. 5 - 10 MPH (THROUGH A CAMPGROUND) AND ONE OF THE TIRES EXPLODED WITH A LOUD POP. THE EXPLODING TIRE WAS ON OUR RV/TRAVEL TRAILER. OTHER FELLOW CAMPERS NOTICED BUBBLES ON 2 MORE OF THE TIRES INDICATING THEY TOO WOULD EXPLODE. WE DETERMINED THAT THE LOAD RANGE D IS NOT ENOUGH FOR RV'S. WE HAD ANOTHER EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF CARLISLE TIRE BEFORE. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR BAD LUCK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED CARLISLE TIRE AND THEY SENT ME THE NORMAL "OUT OF WARRANTY" LETTER. THEY HAVE THESE BAD TIRES IN THEIR POSSESSION, AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY ABOUT IT, THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND I'M TIRED OF IT COSTING ME MONEY. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 55 -60 MPH. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE GET THESE TIRES OFF THE ROAD. CARLISLE TIRE, RADIAL, ST225/75R15, LOAD RANGE D. P. S. THIS FOREST RIVER PRODUCT IS A CHEROKEE MAKE, BUT COULD NOT FIND CHEROKEE IN YOUR LIST OF OPTIONS, AND WAS FORCED TO CHOOSE SIERRA. SINCERELY, SUZIE AYCOCK *TR
