I always check and monitor tire pressure. Look at the tires before I take it out. Never knew how bad these China bombs were. Tore the whole side off the coach plus went through to the inside. Come to find out the tires had a mold date of 51/15. Never knew what that was. How can a brand new 18 Montana have tires 3 years old on them? I am just sick about this. Damm near caused a major accident on the highway during this blowout. It shook me up pretty bad. I will be adding a quality 'G' rated tire to the coach. Just not sure how to get everything fixed.
Thanks,
Gary

Your new trailer may have been part of a big tire shuffle. Just about all RV trailer manufacturers/dealers have been scampering around trying to comply with the new RVIA recommendation for a 10% reserve load capacity for OE tires. You can request a tire serial number check from Keystone. You might just find that those tires were not the originals.
