2014 Jayco Eagle PremierWheels & tires

I was traveling north on the ny thruway in 85+ weather. It was 2 pm the roadway was clear of debris. The passenger side, rear axle tire instantly deflated. I pulled to the side of the road. A guardrail prevented me from accessing the tire. As a result I had to move down the extremely narrow shoulder until the guardrail ended (approximately 2 miles). The tire was split from bead to bead straight across the tire. I had to purchase a new tire.The failed tire was a power king towmax st235 80 r16 dot 83b5 gpb 5012. The...

tire was returned to dynamic tire corp. They sent me a letter stating that the tire was damaged by a road hazard. The trailer is towed by a dully truck. Any road hazard had to impact the rear outside truck tire and the front axle tire on the trailer. I am just a regular driver with 40 years driving experience, their explanation seems suspicious to me.

2014 Jayco Eagle PremierWheels & tires

We were just leaving az in april 2016 traveling north on a freeway at 65 mph when the passenger tire on our 2014 jayco eagle premier fifth wheel exploded. I have a tire monitoring system on the tires and everything looked good prior to the blowout. The tires are towmax 235x80x16. I changed the tire and proceeded down the same highway. About 8 miles later the tire on the drivers side blew. Since my spare was already in use I had to limp down the highway 6 miles on the shoulder to get to an exit where I could safely...

get off the road. The towmax tires came with the trailer new and had about 3000 miles on them. The rv was under the maximum load capacity and I drive no more than 65 pulling the trailer. There was extensive damage to the body of the rv and the tires also destroyed the wiring to the electric brakes. Stopping a 14000 pound trailer with a blown tire and no brakes at 65 mph is a harrowing experience. I found a tire store in henderson nv that replaced all 4 tires with goodyear marathon tires and repaired the brakes. I called jayco and they had me drop off the tires at a local jayco dealer. I also filed a warranty claim with towmax. No results..

accident had the trucker not warned us. Jayco has since changed to another tire company. There needs to be a recall on these defective tires. Trailer was not over weight, speed was 65 mph and tire pressure was checked prior to leaving that morning. There was damage done by blowout.
