ST205/75R15 Load Range D. Purchased 4 of these Trailer King Tires for Simple Tire, Installed on a 7x14 Wells Cargo Enclosed trailer that carries my lawn equipment. 1 of the Tires came apart crossing a bridge, another started coming apart, and the other 2 showed wear almost to the replacement indicators. Followed the instruction of the seller "Simple Tire" and had inspections completed by a tire company and Simple Tire replied. Hello Thanks for reaching out about your warranty claim status on order# XXXXXXX . I understand how disappointing this would be. I apologize for disruption that you’ve experienced because of this. I just followed-up with the warehouse to see if they have an update, unfortunately below is the update from the warehouse / supplier - "There is no mileage warranty on Trailer King Trailer Tires." Since the ​tire is not covered under manufacturer’s warranty, it sounds like you are ineligible for a replacement/ refund. Once again, ​I apologize for the inconvenience that you are experiencing recently due to this. We value your time and patience, have a great day! Shailesh These tires are year and 5 months old and under 2000 miles.
