Note the bulging of the tread vs the normal tire on the right.


After they we're dismounted from the rims large areas of blistering could be seen inside the tire. I caught them just in time. Sorry forgot to take a photo. Needless to say TrailerKings did not go back on. Check those TrailerKings before it's too late! These things are crap! They are an accident waiting to happen!

You that looks like classical Belt Detachment. Have you filed a complaint with NHTSA? One for each tire?
After you get the reply (case number) from NHTSA I would forward it to Keystone RV Corporate and cc the dealer that sold you the RV.


If you still have a failed tire can you check to see if the reinforcement under the tread is "1 layer Polyester + 2 Layer Steel" or is it "1 layer Polyester + 2 Layer Steel + 1 layer Nylon"?
