Tire Size: ST225/75R15 DOT 1AD B4TRT1 3420 Manufacturer: Trailer King- These tires are dangerous!! While towing my travel trailer, driving at the posted speed limit of 65mph in October 2025, the driver side rear trailer tire failed (1st). After replacement with the spare, approximately 35 miles further down I-95, the passenger side rear tire failed (2nd). Both tires were replaced in South Carolina at a tire repair shop. Arrived at final destination that evening (Jacksonville, FL). During trip back to VA while transiting on I-95 N (in GA), a third tire (driver side front) failed, replaced blown tire at a Wal-mart in the area. Remaining tire (same lot and size) which was purchased together, was also removed from the travel trailer at that time due to noted bulging outward circumferentially in the center of the tire tread. In each case, the tire tread separated from the tires, leaving sidewall in place. I have several pictures which record both tire condition, manufacturer and LOT. While there was some moderate damage to my travel trailer, requiring repair, I was fortunate the subject tires did not fail simultaneously which could have resulted in significant stability issues (towing) and potential fatal motor vehicle accident.
