WE HAVE A 2017 CEDAR CREEK 38FBD WITH DUAL 7000 POUND AXLES AND OEM ALLOY WHEELS. THE SECOND OF MY FOUR ALLOY WHEELS CRACKED SOMETIME DURING THE 3 DAYS WE WERE SETUP AT COE RIVERSIDE PARK @ LAKE KANOPOLIS, KS. I FOUND THIS OUT WHEN MY AFTERMARKET TPMS ALARMED THAT THE TIRE WAS AT 5 PSI RATHER THAN NEAR 110PSI WHEN I TURNED IT ON. IF THE CRACK AND RESULTING PRESSURE LOSS HAD OCCURED WHILE WE WERE PULLING OUR FIFTH WHEEL, WE MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRAILER AND INJURED NOT ONLY OURSELVES, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD. AS I STATED, THIS IS THE SECOND WHEEL TO FAIL. THE PREVIOUS FAILURE WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WITH PRETTY MUCH THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. WE WEIGH OUR FIFTH WHEEL EVERY SO OFTEN AND SO FAR WE'VE NEVER HAD OVER 6700 POUNDS ON EITHER AXLE. OUR TIRES ARE G RATED TO ~3800 POUNDS WHEN IN A DUAL AXLE CONFIGURATION (SAILUN 235/85R16) THAT WERE PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH 2019.
