NHTSA complaint: CARLISLE CARLISLE — TIRES
I HAVE CARLISLE SURE TRAIL ST TIRES, SIZE ST 205/75D15, ON MY 2003 BIG TEX 60CH TRAILER. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND A LIGHT LOAD ON THE TRAILER. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLE ON THIS TRAILER AT TIME OF PURCHASE, I HAVE REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES, DUE TO THE ONE BLOWOUT, AND VERY SEVERE CROWNING IN THE CENTER OF THE TREAD AT THE PROPER COLD INFLATION PRESSURE OF 35PSI, THIS CROWNING OF THE TREAD ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE AN OVER-INFLATED TIRE, WHEN IN FACT IT IS PROBEBLY A SEPARATION INSIDE THE TIRE. THE DOT NUMBERS ARE AS FOLLOWS: UUUL SCB0103 UUUL SCB0103 UUUL SCB0103 8LUL 0703 THE ODD NUMBERED TIRE IS THE TIRE THAT BLEW OUT AND HAD PRINTED IN THE BEAD AREA THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN TRINIDAD. BY THE TIME I COULD GET THE TRAILER OFF THE FREEWAY THE BLOW-OUT WAS SMOKING.*AK
