Trailer King Tires are awful! In the last 3 months we have blown 3 tires. We have a 2016 Montana 3791RD that is weighted at 16,900 lbs, it is a double axle and was sold to us by Campling World with 4 E Rated Trailer King Tires. I want to say upfront, my husband drives a tractor Trailer for a living and always makes sure the PSI is what the tires call for!! In April, We blew the first one as we were going to the mountains. We replaced it with the same Kind and Type of tire. When we were taking it to get the damage fixed we blew another one on the oppisite side and other axle. This is when I contacted the Tire Manufacturer. They wanted to inspect the tires and had me fill out a liability form, which we did and sent them the tires. About a week later they came back and stated that No manufacturing defects found and that the failure was due to being Over Weight or Under Inflated. We went and had our campler weighted and were at 14,500 lbs. This prompted me to call Keystone, which I was told the E rated tire were within Spec for my RV.
I had made my mind up at this point that we were getting new tires! The camper was at the repair shop and we had a camping trip coming up so we decided to go get the campler and take it to get new tires. On the way, we had another tire blow out! So 3 tires in 2 months. We got G Rated tires now!
After the 3rd tire I called the NHTSA and logged a complaint. I urge everyone that has had Trailer King tire problems to call, the more people that call the more likely the NHTSA is to look into the matter and possibly issue a recall or go after Keystone for putting "Just Enough" tires on their units.
On a side note, My sister-in-law was camping in her Montana with us last week and while she was sitting still, her tire blew out! Had been setup for 3 days and the tire just popped! She logged a complaint also and has new G rated tires.
Over all I have 6,000 dollars damage to my unit with 3 claims, my insurance will probably cancel me or will go up so much that I cannot afford it!
We need to get these tires off of the road before someone gets killed! I am not sure who is at fault, the tire company or Keystone.....I am leaning more towards Keystone! They knew the limit of the tires were 3,520 lbs each and they knew my camper weighed 16,900 lbs (minus the hitch weight of 2,965 leaving a total of 13,955lbs)....and knowing that my tires are rated at 3,520 lb each, a total of 14,080 that my tires can support they went ahead and put those tires on my unit! Yes it is within the range of the tires but almost over the range. Keystone knew this and they decided to put those tires on these RV anyway! When talking to Keystone they told me that I could have alway upgraded my tires when I bought the unit, I told them it was a brand new camper that I should not have to check to make sure that Keystone was doing there job! Keystone now puts G rated tires on the heavier units, when I asked about that they stated that they are always looking for ways to improve and do "Upgrades"??
Please call and report the tires to the NHTSA
