Example complaints
Equipment: “I had a tire failure while merging onto the interstate. This is a trailer I bought used, and I realize that I am way out of warranty. My issue is, that this unit has the wrong tire size, load range, and wheel size. Looking at the date, I assume they are original tires. They are st205/75r15 lr c on 15 x % inch wheels. The sticker on the side of the trailer shows they should be, st225/75r15 lr d on 15 x ^ inch wheels. The sticker is old and quite faded, but, I can read enough to determine what should be there. The trailer has a gvw of 10840, and lr c tires don't add up to that. …”
