“We were towing a 2012 Heartland Cyclone 300c 5th wheel toy hauler trailer equipped with tow max 235/80 r16 trailer tires in april, 2013 on ca hwy 60 near riverside, ca when the left rear trailer tire blew. There was no sign that I struck an object or ran over anything. Luckily I had exited freeway and caught flat before any damage occurred. All 4 trailer tires had 80 PSI and trailer was not over loaded. I changed flat tire with spare until replacing it with a goodyear marathon of the same size. …”

NHTSA complaint #10478123, filed 2012-10, 8,000 miles“9/21 while heading home from a weekend outing I got to experience not one, but two occurrences of powerking towmax tire failures. First setting the scene: tires at proper pressure (80lb), speed under 65mph, trailer weight below 14,000lbs, miles on tires total less than 1,000, road condition dry and smooth. Tire #1: blew out the center of the tread, no coach damage after ~70 miles of travel; tire #2: failed spectacularly where the tread cap came completely off the tire carcass (after only 30 miles) taking out the fender skirt, the heater cover, rear step plastic frame, and lots of side panel.”
