TRAILER PURCHASED NEW IN APRIL OF 2017. DURING A THANKSGIVING TRIP I NOTICED WHAT SEEMS TO BE A TIRE DELAMINATING. WE REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE. UPON INSPECTION WHEN WE RETURNED HOME I NOTICED THAT THE WEIGHT RATINGS OF THE TIRES DON'T SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE FACTORY IS SPECIFYING THE TRAILER WEIGHS. THE TIRES ARE TRAILER KING ST225/75R15 WITH A MAX WEIGHT RATING OF 2,540LBS EACH. THE TRAILER HAS FOUR (4) WITH A DUAL AXLE SETUP. THESE ARE FACTORY ISSUED TIRES. THE GVWR OF THE TRAILER IS 10,500LBS WHICH CALCULATES AS 340LBS IN EXCESS OF THE TIRE CAPACITY. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ALL THE TIRES ON THE TRAILER AS I CANNOT AFFORD A BLOW-OUT AND I THINK I'M ON THE PATH TO ONE WITH THESE TIRES. THERE WAS NO BLOW-OUT, SIMPLY AN IMMINENT TIRE FAILURE WHICH I BELIEVE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF INCORRECT/UNDERWEIGHT TIRE SELECTION BY KEYSTONE. *DT *TR *DT *TR
