Example complaints
Tires: “Power king towmax st 235-80-r16. Dot 83b5 gpb date code 0313 while driving 62 MPH 90 miles from home tire exploded causing rv wheel well damage this was the 2nd tire in 2 trips. Tires were inspected before trip and pressure set to 80 PSI. Remaining tires still look new but will be replaced because I cannot trust the power king tires. The rv manufacturer is unresponsive to tire problems. I think the NHTSA should look into the st radial problem especially the ones made in china.”

The contact removed the entire river bracket. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was approximately 200. Updated 06/15/16 the consumer stated the spare tire was mounted below the back bumper and it would hit the ground while driving. The bracket usd to hold the spare tire in place, was flimsy. …”
NHTSA complaint #10860831, filed 2016-04, 200 milesWheels: “While going down ny thru way at 65mph my power king stx tire exploded and blew off the wheelwell and flare to the tune of $1400.00 not including the tire. This tire had less then 1000 miles and was 1 year old. My insurance adjuster showed me another power king tire that blew apart the same way 2 weeks ago.
