When they blow its the middle of the tread that does its very unsafe for me and my family. very scary .. yes available for inspection i have pictures it has not been inspected by anyone but me i changed the tire on the side of the highway both times which put me in danger..no warnings just a loud bang ..

FRAME SUPPORTS HAVE FAILED AT WELD POINTS DUE TO POOR WELDING. THE SUPPORTS SEPARATING HAS CAUSE MAJOR CRACKING IN THE MAIN FRAME RAILS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRAILER. THE FAILURE ALLOWED SO MUCH MOVEMENT IN THE FRAME THAT TIRE BEGAN HITTING THE BODY CAUSING TIRE DAMAGE. THE FRAME NOW NEEDS A COMPLETE REPAIR AND IS UNSAFE TO USE. I HAVE MORE IMAGES BUT IT WILL ONLY LET ME UPLOAD ONE.
