Trailer purchased new in april of 2017. During a thanksgiving trip I noticed what seems to be a tire delaminating. We replaced it with the spare. Upon inspection when we returned home I noticed that the weight ratings of the tires don't seem to match what the factory is specifying the trailer weighs. The tires are trailer king st225/75r15 with a max weight rating of 2,540lbs each. The trailer has four (4) with a dual axle setup. These are factory issued tires. The gvwr of the trailer is 10,500lbs which calculates as 340lbs in excess of the tire capacity. I am in the process of replacing all the tires on the trailer as I cannot afford a blow-out and I think I'm on the path to one with these tires. There was no blow-out, simply an imminent tire failure which I believe is a direct result of incorrect/underweight tire selection by keystone. *dt *tr *dt

But bare steel on tounge recall 17v‑439 =- did not prime or paiint and is rusting - per keystone - not their problem and should not be in the environment whereit can get wet. What? - it is a teravel reailer and it is the tow bar. Keystone has created a potentially worse safety issue by not painting the repair - now it could rust out and fail
