TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 PRIME TIME SPARTAN 1234X EQUIPPED WITH POWER KING TOWMAX SP TIRES, SIZE: 235/80/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACTED NOTICED THAT A VEHICLE BEHIND HIM WAS FLASHING THEIR HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRE WITH A SPARE TIRE AND RETURNED THE TIRE TO THE CAMPING WORLD OF LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA DEALER. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE WIRING HARNESS AND CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE REFRIGERATOR DUE TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE TIRE BLOW OUT. THE TIRE WAS ALSO REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE FINDER WAS BADLY DAMAGED AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER HAVING THE TIRES CHECKED. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED TO THE MIDDLE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED A THIRD TIME TO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE MINDER DID NOT ALERT THE CONTACT OF ANY TEMPERATURES AND TIRE PRESSURES NOT BEING OF STANDARD REQUIREMENTS. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND TIRES WAS 3,000.

ALL 4 TIRES FAILED. I WAS PULLING THE TRAILER AT 65 MPH ON I95 IN SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN THE TIRES FAILED ONE BY ONE WITHIN 1 WEEK.
