The contact owns a 2021 Forest River XLR Toy Hauler equipped with Castle Rock Tires, Tire Line: ST Tires, Tire Size: 225/75/R15, DOT Number: TJULT 1MT. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the RV suddenly started to swerve, and the steering wheel became unstable. The contact regained control of the steering wheel and parked the vehicle on the shoulder of the roadway. Upon inspection, it was discovered that there was tread separation on the rear passenger’s side tire. The spare tire was mounted to the RV, and the contact continued driving on the interstate when the front driver's side tire experienced a similar failure. The RV was driven to a tire shop, and all four tires were replaced. The contact stated that the RV was poorly constructed. The aluminum siding was unsecured, and the gray water tank was continuously leaking water into the RV. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the RV was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 8,500.

This tire was mounted on my Forest River XLR Micro. The vehicle tires are rated for 2450lbs each @ 80 PSI. I was traveling with less than 8000lbs weight of the RV, and I had two of these tires blow out from the Sidewall/ tread area with in 20 miles of each other. This was the 3rd tire to blow out of the 5 original tires. I ALWAYS check my tire premeasure prior to traveling with my RV, and I know this trip I had 78-79 PSI cold. The tires were in very good shape, and had approximately 6400 miles on them. I have contacted the manufacture of tires, and they refused any warranty. I have also read online that other RVers have had the same issue with these tires. There should be a RECALL or something done.

The contact owns a 2021 Forest River XLR Toy Hauler. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 65 MPH, the rear driver’s side tire on the toy hauler detached from the vehicle without warning. The contact's husband was able to pull off the highway and a fellow motorist explained to them that the tire had detached from the toy hauler and rolled across the freeway and ricocheted off the divider. A highway patrol officer assisted her and her husband in attempting to find the tire; however, the tire was never found. The contact was able to remove the drum from the trailer and drove to an independent mechanic and had the tire replaced. The following day while her husband was driving at 60 MPH, another motorist notified them that another tire on the toy hauler was defective. The contact's husband pulled over and upon inspection he discovered that a bubble had formed on the front passenger’s side tire and that the rear passenger tire was severely worn. Her husband once again detached the toy hauler and replaced both tires. Due to the multiple tire failures on the vehicle, the contact and her husband determined that the failure may be linked to the axle and not the actual tires. All three defective tires were replaced. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
