VEHICLE WITH APPROX 4000 MILES SINCE NEW SUFFERED A BLOW OUT ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE WHILE IN MOTION, TRAVELING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED HIGHWAY DURING HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC. THIS ALMOST NEW TRAVEL TRAILER WAS DELIVERED WITH PROVIDER ST205 75R14 TIRES "MADE IN CHINA." THIS LOW MILEAGE TIRE FAILURE OCCURRED IN HEAVY, TRAFFIC AFTER DARK AND EXPOSED THE OCCUPANTS OF THE TOW VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLES TO EXTREME DANGER, POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL. THE TOW VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE FORCED TO EXIT AND AWAIT ASSISTANCE AFTER DARK, LATE AT NIGHT IN A VERY DANGEROUS AREA. THESE TIRES CARRY A C LOAD RATING WHICH IS INADEQUATE FOR AN APPROXIMATELY 6,000 POUND TRAILER AND JAYCO SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THE RISK INCURRED WITH TRAILERS DELIVERED WITH THESE POOR QUALITY CHINESE MANUFACTURED TIRES!
