from casing / bead causing moderate damage to trailer siding and undercarriage from tread / steel belting. Contacted 800-227-8925 number on tire casing and spoke with a tireco representative. Tireco replaced all 5 tires with a milestar branded tires and requested the return of old tires (2 failed, 3 non-failed) tires for their inspection. Tireco stated they would review a trailer repair request provided 3 written estimates submitted, however they would not pay for mounting, balancing, car rental, towing, storage, lodging, downtime or lost wages. Upon my inspection of the 3 non-failed tires, I have observed what appears to be steel wire strands protruding through the tread face of 2 tires well above the wear bars, remaining tire was mounted as a spare and has no wear. I have resisted returning the set of 5 tires to tireco; rather I request nhtsa open a defect investigation. I have read many accounts of mission loadmax tire failures through rv websites on the internet and noted that two others have filed complaints with nhtsa. I will retain the tires pending direction of nhtsa should you (dot) wish to examine. *Jb
