| Description of the problem | I had the tread separate from the sidewall on my trailer tire. Powerking towmax s/t225/75r15 (bpr lrd) dot code on the side of the tire is ohmc 2206. Tires were always maintained at 65 psi. Luckily for me, this failure occurred at very low speed (less than 5 mph) and there was no damage to the trailer or injuries caused. Tire is rated at 2,600 lbs (four tires for a total load on the axles of 10,400 lbs) and last full weight at a cat scale was just over 8,000 lbs on the axles (1,600 on the pin for a total trailer weight of ~9,600 lbs with a gvw for the trailer of 11,500). Tire should not fail after 2. 25 years. Trailer is a 2007 forest river wildcat 29bhbp 5th wheel. |
