SUB STANDARD TIRES, ON JULY 21, 2004 I HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL, OF MY FIFTH WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILER. I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING ABOUT THE BLOW OUT OTHER THAN I HAVING BAD LUCK, THE TRAILER IS A 2003 MAKE MADE BY GULF STREAM. SO I JUST HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND REPAIRED THE DAMAGE TO THE TRAILER. I HAD THE TIRE REPAIRED BUT DID NOT SAVE THE OLD TIRE. IN SEPTEMBER WE TOOK ANOTHER CAMPING TRIP, WELL ON THE WAY I HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT ON THE SAME SIDE BUT THE FRONT TIRE CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE, THIS IS NO FREAK INCIDENT I HAD THE TIRE REPLACE BUT I KEPT THE OLD TIRE THIS TIME. TWO DAYS LATER ON THE WAY HOME, I HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AS SOON AS WE MADE IT HOME I REPLACED ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES ON THE TRAILER. I CONTACTED CARLISLE TIRES AND SENT THEM THE TIRES (1 BLOW OUT 2-GOOD TIRES) THAT DID NOT CAUSE DAMAGE, AND WEEK LATER THEY REIMBURSE ME FOR THESE TIRES, THE SECOND BLOW OUT THAT CAUSE THE MINOR DAMAGE I HAD TO CONTACT GOODYEAR AND SENT THEM THE OLD TIRE, A WEEK LATER THEY ALSO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE SECOND TIRE AND THE DAMAGE TO THE TRAVEL. I FILE A CLAIM WITH GOODYEAR ON THE FIRST BLOW OUT AND WAS DENY BECAUSE I GOOD NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH THE TIRE GOODYEAR POLICY IS NO TIRE NO CLAIM NO SERVICE SO THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FIRST BLOW OUT THE ONE THAT COST ME $871.00 (CARLISLE ST 225 75R15 MADE BY GOODYEAR) . MY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY JUST REPLACED THE FOUR TIRES BECAUSE OF SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T PROVIDE THEM WITH THE FIFTH TIRES THEY WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER WORKING WITH ME. *AK

ALL 5 ON DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL LUGS:NUTS WERE REPLACED. REPAIRS WERE MADE AT THE DEALER.*AK THE CONSUMER HEARD THE SOUND OF A BEARING BEING GONE . *TC
