| Description of the problem | At less than 1000 miles on the grey wolf travel trailer, a tire disintegrated and damaged the under-lining of the recreation vehicle on may 27, 2016. The tires were inflated to 50psi before starting the trip. They were checked for heat at 100 miles into the trip and no extreme heat condition was noticed. The vehicle was purchased on march 1, 2015, so the manufacturers of the trailer and the tires are claiming that any warranty has expired, now that it is may of 2016. We travelled on well maintained roads and did not see any debris that may have caused the issue. I am wondering if these tires are having the same issue as described in nhstb item 14t001. Thank you. |
