TIRE FAILURE ON THREE POWER KING TOW MAX STR 235/80/R16 IN ONE DAY. TOWING 2013 HEARTLAND 3000 CK SUNDANCE @ LOVELOCK NEVADA, ONE TIRE BLEW AND DAMAGED SIDE PANEL DRIVERS SIDE, OTHER DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAD A BUBBLE STARTING AND THIRD HAD BUBBLE. *TR
WITH ONLY 7000 MILES ON TOW MAX TRAILER TIRES, ST235/80R-16/10 HIGHWAY BW, RIGHT FRONT TIRE ON FRONT AXLE SEPARATED WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE REMAINING TREAD GONE. NEW TIRE PUT ON - WE PAID $100 - REBATED $70 FROM TIRE COMPANY. ON 1/23/14, ONLY 3000 MILES LATER, NOTICED LEFT FRONT TIRE, SAME AXLE, SEPARATING. DROVE TO QUALIFIED TIRE STORE AND EXPECTED TO HAVE THAT TIRE REPLACED, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FIRST TIRE REPLACED, THE REMAINING 3 TIRES WERE ALL SEPARATING AND VERY CLOSE TO BLOWING OUT. HAVE GONE ON OUR OWNERS FORUM AND READ ABOUT SO MANY OTHER RV OWNERS HAVING DANGEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS BRAND. HAVE CONTACTED THE RV MANUFACTURER AND THEY SEEM TO THINK GETTING 7000 MILES ON A TIRE IS GOOD. REALLY??? WE WANTED THEM TO AT LEAST GIVE US A FEW DOLLARS BACK ON THESE TIRES SINCE WE WANTED TO BE SAFE AND UPGRADED TO A TIRE THAT CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF OUR RV. BY THE WAY, WE HAD OUR TRAILER AND TRUCK PROFESSIONALLY WEIGHED AT A RALLY HOSTED BY OUR RV MANUFACTURER AND WERE TOLD WE WERE UNDERWEIGHT!!! WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU INVESTIGATE THESE TIRES AND PERHAPS READ THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION PUTTING INADEQUATE TIRES ON AN RV. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HEARTLAND SUNDANCE FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH POWER KING TOWMAX TIRES, SIZE: 235/80/16 (N/A). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE EXPLODED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED WITH THE STEEL VISIBLY SHOWING. THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH A SPARE TIRE AND ONE NEWLY PURCHASED TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE TRAILER DID NOT GENERATE MILEAGE.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
