Mission tires

[jackel1959]

Jim,
We have a 2004 325FKBS which came with MISSION tires ST225/75R15 LOAD RANGE "D". I have since replaced all 5 tires with trailer tires from Les Schwab. After less than 12000 miles and 14 months on the MISSIONs, I had one completely fail and two others where the tread began to separate from the carcass. When the one tire did fail I was traveling at highway speed and DID NOT experience any loss of control with the trailer or the truck, there was some cosmetic damage to the trailer however. When the tread began to separate on the other two tires, the tread area began to bulge and became rounded across the width of the tire and was no longer flat as a normal tire is. TIRECO did compensate me for the damage caused by the failure and did eventually pay me for the 5 new tires. My advice to you is to closely monitor your tires prior to and during travel, ensure proper inflation and loading. You can contact TIRECO if you want but I doubt they will do anything for you unless you are having a problem. Although this is probably not what you wanted to hear, I hope this helps.
R,
Jack
