2004 Forest River Travel Trailer tires complaints

Filed Jun 6, 2005 · Tires · MD

We purchased a rockwood roo in feb 2004. It had carlisle tires on it. Last year we travelled about 5000 miles. First time out this year in one trip, we had 3 blowouts. We purchased two tires on the first session, where we blew 2 tires and was left with no spare. The first tire store happened to only sell carlisle tires. The second round was in another state and we purchased another brand. After getting home, we find the carlisle will not honor a warranty since we could not bring home the three blown tires. (limited space while camping to keep trashed tires). We have researched camping forums and find out the carlisle tires are destined to blow in as little as 6 months from manufacture date. Now we feel we have to throw away 3 brand new tires (spare and two we purchased) before we can dare head on another trip. We seem to have no recourse and somehow this seems so dangerous and unfair. There was also damage to the trailer, they completely ignored the pictures of the damage.
