DRIVING SOUTH INTO GA WITH OUR 2104 HEARTLAND CYCLONE 5TH WHEEL ,I STOPPED AT A REST AREA. AS ALWAYS, I DO A WALK ABOUT RV INSPECTION. LOOKING AT THE RV TIRES I SPOTTED A GOLF BALL SIZED BALLON IN THE SIDEWALL OF OUR 235/85R-16 ''TOW MAX" TIRE LOCATED RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE RIM. THE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 7,500 MILES ON THEM, EXCELLENT TREAD AND INFLATED TO 80PSI AS RECOMMENDED BY HEARTLAND RV. I PUT THE SPARE ON AND PROCEEDED TO FIND A TIRE SHOP. WE STAYED AT A CAMPING WORLD LOT. ABOUT 2 HOURS INTO OUR STAY WE HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE. THE TIRE BLEW SITTING WITH NO PRESSURE ON IT, MOUNTED IN THE SPARE TIRE RACK. UPON REMOVAL AT A TIRE SHOP, IT WAS NOTED THAT "THEY WERE PROPERLY INSTALLED" WITH NO CUTS. I REPLACED ALL THE TIRES WITH NEW 14 PLY TRAILER TIRES. I HAVE HEARD OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF THESE TIRES AND IT IS TIME FOR ACTION. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

A POWER KING TOWMAX TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT WITH ONLY ABOUT 3000 MILES ON IT ON OUR 2014 HEARTLAND CYCLONE TRAILER. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER AT BIG O TIRES THAT THESE TIRES ARE JUNK AND THAT THEY WILL ALL EVENTUALLY HAVE A BLOWOUT. HE ALSO SAID IF WE WERE LUCKY IT WOULDN'T DESTROY OUR TRAILER OR WORST! NOW I HAVE READ BLOGS ON QUITE A FEW WEBSITES AND IT APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF NOT DEADLY PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR BRAND OF TIRES. THERE ARE A LOT OF CONCERNED AND ANGRY CONSUMERS THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE. I BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE OUR NATIONAL ROADWAYS JUST BECAUSE WE OWE IT CHINA WITH ALL OUR DEBT TO THEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS COMPANY'S BACKGROUND FOR YOURSELF, YOU WILL AGREE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE.
