2012 Haul Master TrailerWheels & tires

Tire sidewalls rub against the metal fender bracket when trailer is used with load of 700 pounds. I had tire failure at 35 miles per hour. I found heavy rubber marks and shards of rubber from the tire sidewall on both fender brackets on each side of my trailer. In addition to the rubbing contact, the fender brackets have very sharp edges that can cut the sidewalls of the high pressure 80 psi tire and cause a sudden tire failure.

Traveling down the road I had a tire failure with tread missing and wires hanging out of the tire on my boat trailer. At the time I didn't think much of it thought I ran over something and popped it. Replaced the same day with a different brand and we went to the lake the very next day. After retuning home my wife noticed that we have another tire with tread missing and wires hanging out but had not yet blown.

shaped and about ready to fail at any time. These tires were only 3 years old with less the 2,000 miles on them. The company would only would not give me an entire refund due to that they were worn but with only 20% or less total wear and also didn't want the tires back for testing. I feel these tires are dangerous to be on the road and could have not only cost me my boat and trailer but more importantly my family, mine or someone their life had they all gone together which honestly they could have with two going down within a day of each other and the other two on the brink. The tires are trailer king tires st radials of a haul-rite pontoon traler from b&m fg.Co.
