Explained this would not work and they said to take pictures of bulges & could file a claim when I returned home. I sent pictures of tire damage and picture of 5 th wheel bill of sale to duro tire. ...

Was then told they also wanted pictures of dot and all numbers from all tires. I explained tires were 600 miles away and I was not informed of their need for extra pictures. They then said sorry for poor communication, but there could be no claim without dot information. The tires are 235 80r16 e load rated at 3520lbs each @ 85psi. The hitch weight is 2,200 lbs. The tires were not over loaded! Just poor quality tires. I do not appreciate getting jerked around by this tire co. But more than that I am very upset about being put in such a dangerous position out on our highways. *Tr
All (4) duro tires failed within 300 miles of each other, with belt separation and bubbling issues. Tires are possibly underrated for weight of trailer, or tires are defective. *Kb
