BOUGHT FOUR (4) POWER KING TOW MAX STR ST 235/80R16 TRAILER TIRES. ALL FOUR HAVE FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED. FIRST FAILURE, TIRE EXPLODED, CAUSED TRAILER DAMAGE. SECOND FAILURE, TIRE WENT FLAT, DURING REPAIR DISCOVERED CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL FAILURE. THIRD FAILURE, VISUAL INSPECTION, TIRE SEPARATING. FORTH FAILURE, TIRE EXPLODED, CAUSED TRAILER DAMAGED. BOTH EXPLOSIVE TIRE FAILURE OCCURRED AT 65 MPH, 2000 TO 3000 MILES ON TIRE. TRAILER IS A TOY HAULER, WEIGHED AT 11340 LBS LOADED. TIRES ARE MONITORED BY TPMS, PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE, NO ABNORMAL WARNINGS BEFORE TIRE EXPLOSIONS. TPMS DID ALERT TO SECOND TIRE FAILURE, FLAT. SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR TOY HAULER TIRE FAILURES, MORE POWER KING CATASTROPHIC TIRES FAILURES CAUSING HUGE AMOUNTS OF DAMAGE TO THE TRAILERS. I DO NOT ANY DOT INFORMATION FOR THE FOUR TIRES THAT FAILED, JUST THE REPLACEMENT TIRES.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
