My new 2007 lark carhauler enclosed trailer came with 4 towmaster st205/75d15, dot# 1nvt-5106, kt-7709-06 tires installed. After approx. 1500 hwy miles, all the tires formed large bubbles throughout the side walls. The company ridgeline performance in douglas ga. Replaced the tires in good faith with the same tire. After approx. Another 1500 hwy speed miles, the tires did the same thing. This time the company refused to replace them stating I must have caused the problem. I believe this tire has serious defects that will or has caused serious accidents. The trailer is rated 7000gvw. I was hauling a 69 jaguar xke. Tire pressure was 50 psi. Running 70 to 75 MPH, tire temp was taken with a laser reader and found to be running at 195 degrees on a 89 degree day.
