WE HAVE BLOWN TO TRAILER TIRES IN LESS THAT 3000 MILES OF USE ON A NEW TRAILER. I BEEN CHECKING THE WEIGHTS FOR THE TIRES AND FEEL THEY ARE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH FOR THE TRAILER. FOREST RIVER WILL NOT WARRANTY THEM. THEY SAY IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CARLISLE (THE TIRE MFG.). CARLISLE SAYS THE TIRES ARE TOO SMALL AND THEY DO NOT CONTROL WHAT FOREST RIVERS PUTS THEM ON SO THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THEM EITHER. ON 6/23, I TALKED WITH AN ENGINEER AT FOREST RIVER AND HE ALSO AGREED THAT THE TIRES WERE TOO SMALL FOR MY TRAILER. HE REVIEWED WITH THE VP OF ENGINEERING AT FOREST RIVER AND CALLED BACK TO TELL ME THAT THEY ARE NOW PUTTING A HEAVIER TIRE ON THIS MODEL TRAILER. THEY STILL REFUSE TO REPLACE OUR TIRES WITH THE HEAVIER TIRE. DAVID COLEMAN HAS PICTURES OF THE BLOWN TIRE AND TRAILER WEIGHTS.*AK
