 Description of the problemOn my third use of my 2017 forest river r-pod travel trailer, a trip to texas from indiana, the left side single axle trailer tire completely delaminated, tearing the steel fender with light and wiring from the vehicle. This was on a 4 lane divided highway while traveling at about 65 miles per hour. The inflation of both tires was checked prior to leaving and both were inflated to the recommended psi. I installed the spare and bought a replacement tire on the same day. The next day while traveling on an interstate highway at about 70 mph the tire on the right side blew out and was torn to shreds, also tearing off the fender and wiring. Neither fender was located and i trust that there were no injuries or vehicle damage as i was not notified. Both of these incidents were very serious but the trailer was kept under control and was safely moved off of the roadways. Forest river has refused to pay for any damages as the 1 year warranty was over. The tire distributer, lion's head, goshen, in, also refused to pay for replacement or damages as the 1 year warranty was over. These tire pose a safety hazard and should be recalled and removed from any vehicles used on the highway system.
