2021 HIGHLAND RIDGE TT MESA RIDGE Complaints
ST225/75/R15. This happen on our new Jayco Ridgeline Light 5th wheel. We ourmaiden voyage with only 50 miles on trailer. We drove home from General Rv to our Brighton home and on our first trip only 20 miles from on home on US 23 total blow out. If you go on Fb and search group Michigan RV camping. Here is another story of the castle rock tires. We traveled to the UP, then to Grayling over a 10 day period. Our 4 hr trip to the UP turned into 7 1/2 when a tire on the passenger side of our 2016 Sandpiper blew, taking out the tire & the paneling above the tires. We called a tow truck, they quickly came & put on our spare. We got back in our truck & on our way, & no more than 5 mins later the 2nd tire on the passenger side blew. Called another tow (luckily found one considering it was 5 PM on a Friday night). He brought a tire & rim, & we smartly followed him back to his store to also replace our spare just in case. Fast forward 6 days & we began our journey to Grayling. 27 mins from St Ignace, a tire on our DRIVER'S side blew. Total disbelief. Managed to find correct tools after awhile & changed to our spare we had, thank God we'd replaced it! Hubs checked the 2nd tire on the driver's side, only one that hadn't blown, and after looking on the inside of the tire, found it was ready to blow also (bulges etc.). Seriously. So we drove extraordinarily slow into Saint Ignace & replaced the last tire on the trailer.After getting home, we took the camper to get all original rims put back onto the new tires etc. Hubs took in one of the blown tires, and the tire specialist, without even looking at the tire, said, "let me guess, you have Castle Rock tires that blew?" Come to find out, not only do you pay 65 grand for a cheaply built camper, manufacturers also put Chinese made tires that are poorly & weakly built with inadequate materials on it. The specialist told us he has seen dozens of blow outs from these tires on campers! Some must be done before a death happens!;
