Indeed, I’ve got another one loosing 50 psi a day. I’m getting them replaced this afternoon if I make Hot Springs early enough, tomorrow if not.

the other campers ive had were cheap but my wildwood came with pretty good radials, both forest river I think. need something better I guess

Maybe you just had a flat resulting in the tire coming apart.

Oh I think you’re right. It’s just that 7 months in is ridiculous IMO. I understand not getting the service out of an ST that you do truck tire, but that’s a bit much I think.

The Keystone I traded in (for a Forest River) went 4 years and 20K miles before the first blow out.

Some of those tires on enclosed trailers are hard to see until it is too late. I know my 3 axle enclosed was difficult.

Agreed on that, though my tires are much more open and visible then box trailers tend to be. Again, new as they are I just gave them a glance for pressure, looking at the valve stem censors and all four green when I headed out. They were load range E too....

I’ll be getting a good brand replacement LR G or H if I can.....

lot goes into trailer use and how long tires last, the radials seem like they don't last and they don't like to sit. also like he said hard to tell when you don't have enough pressure you have to check it all the time, I fill mine before each trip and they probably lose 10-12 lbs between trips and that causes heat/blowouts

I’ve got censors on mine that monitor pressure. Again, 7 months, under 3K miles is not an acceptable service for a tire, IMO.

I do feel fortunate that it didn’t get into the plumbing here on the rear bathroom. But you can see where using black gorilla tape I repaired the body damage, good as Jimmys car after contact with the wall lmao...

I agree and if they have monitors you should be able to claim that under warranty, as long as you aren't talking like pop up things. you have monitor that tells you the pressure like a car?

You have picture of off tire? I might be able to help determine what caused failure.

Not just like a car, they’re mechanical.

Thanks, here ya go....

I don't think I would trust those, pretty bad stories. could be pretty far off before you get a red

 

[SWB]

Was there rubber dust on inside?

What dot manufacturing date?

 

[Montecresto]

Well......Trust but verify anything. They test good, all of them. They’re 80PSI censors that go yellow -4 and red -10 and all four are working good. Bottom line though, I’ve got s*** tires on here and they’re getting replaced to tomorrow with 16 ply good years if I can get them.

Looks to me like you got something in tread of tire causing it to leak between tread and casing of tire causing it to separate.

Tons of rain. We are in a flash flood warning with more heavy rain coming.

Catastrophic air pressure loss would be my guess. LOL

 

[SWB]

Well it seems we are going to miss majority of rain where I live, most of it is going be in western Arkansas.

Maybe, but I still think poor quality.

Ding ding ding ding ding......we have a winner, a smart ass winner.
