I WAS TOWING MY 2007 CARRIAGE CAMEO RV 5TH WHEEL IN TEXAS WHEN A LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. I CALLED ROAD SERVICE, AND THEY REPLACED THAT TIRE WITH A MAXXIS TIRE OF THE SAME SIZE. I WAS AT AN RV PARK FOR 4 DAYS. WHEN I LEFT I DROVE APROX 350 MILES AND BOTH RIGHT SIDE TIRES ON THE RV BLEW OUT. THESE TIRES ARE POWER KING TOW MAX ST235/80R/16 MADE IN CHINA DOT OHMJ 2406 10 PLY RATING LOAD RANGE E WE WERE BROKE DOWN IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA AND IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. CARRIAGE MFG IS UNAWARE OF A TIRE PROBLEM (NOT SURPRISED)BUT THEY CHANGED TIRES TO DURO FOR THE 2008 MODEL YR. 2 MO AFTER I PURCHASED MINE IN APRIL 2007. BLOGGERS ON THE INTERNET MENTION THIS BEING A BAD TIRE, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM. I THINK CARRIAGE KNEW. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS TIRE? *TR

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.
