They indicated a mfg defect and we were lucky that it didn't happened down the road. We had extended warranty coverage on tires but the warranty company said if was for road hazards. The incident took place 6/12/12 and the warranty co just got back to us not honoring the claim. The mechanic mentioned that the mfg puts the bare minimum on trailers/fifth wheels but the equalizers and tires for closed to 14000lb fifth wheel should have been greater. The equalizer we have taken care of but the tires we have not. We don't know who to contact. The new tires are duro special tr4ailer 235/856r16 12 ply with a f load rating. |
