I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON THE NY THRUWAY IN 85+ WEATHER. IT WAS 2 PM THE ROADWAY WAS CLEAR OF DEBRIS. THE PASSENGER SIDE, REAR AXLE TIRE INSTANTLY DEFLATED. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A GUARDRAIL PREVENTED ME FROM ACCESSING THE TIRE. AS A RESULT I HAD TO MOVE DOWN THE EXTREMELY NARROW SHOULDER UNTIL THE GUARDRAIL ENDED (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES). THE TIRE WAS SPLIT FROM BEAD TO BEAD STRAIGHT ACROSS THE TIRE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE.THE FAILED TIRE WAS A POWER KING TOWMAX ST235 80 R16 DOT 83B5 GPB 5012. THE TIRE WAS RETURNED TO DYNAMIC TIRE CORP. THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THE TIRE WAS DAMAGED BY A ROAD HAZARD. THE TRAILER IS TOWED BY A DULLY TRUCK. ANY ROAD HAZARD HAD TO IMPACT THE REAR OUTSIDE TRUCK TIRE AND THE FRONT AXLE TIRE ON THE TRAILER. I AM JUST A REGULAR DRIVER WITH 40 YEARS DRIVING EXPERIENCE, THEIR EXPLANATION SEEMS SUSPICIOUS TO ME.
WE WERE JUST LEAVING AZ IN APRIL 2016 TRAVELING NORTH ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER TIRE ON OUR 2014 JAYCO EAGLE PREMIER FIFTH WHEEL EXPLODED. I HAVE A TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM ON THE TIRES AND EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD PRIOR TO THE BLOWOUT. THE TIRES ARE TOWMAX 235X80X16. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE SAME HIGHWAY. ABOUT 8 MILES LATER THE TIRE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BLEW. SINCE MY SPARE WAS ALREADY IN USE I HAD TO LIMP DOWN THE HIGHWAY 6 MILES ON THE SHOULDER TO GET TO AN EXIT WHERE I COULD SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THE TOWMAX TIRES CAME WITH THE TRAILER NEW AND HAD ABOUT 3000 MILES ON THEM. THE RV WAS UNDER THE MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITY AND I DRIVE NO MORE THAN 65 PULLING THE TRAILER. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE RV AND THE TIRES ALSO DESTROYED THE WIRING TO THE ELECTRIC BRAKES. STOPPING A 14000 POUND TRAILER WITH A BLOWN TIRE AND NO BRAKES AT 65 MPH IS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE. I FOUND A TIRE STORE IN HENDERSON NV THAT REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH GOODYEAR MARATHON TIRES AND REPAIRED THE BRAKES. I CALLED JAYCO AND THEY HAD ME DROP OFF THE TIRES AT A LOCAL JAYCO DEALER. I ALSO FILED A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH TOWMAX. NO RESULTS..

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.
