We purchased four new National brand Road Max E trailer tires (ST225/75 R1S) on 08/26/22. Since purchase, we have driven less than 750 miles. On 01/06/23, while driving on a county road at approximately 45 miles per hour, the front passenger side tire on the trailer blew out. The entire tread came off in one piece causing superficial damage to the side of our trailer but ruining the rim. Prior to leaving our home, my husband checked the tires’ pressure and visually inspected all four and found no issues. It does not appear we ran over anything. Luckily, we were travelling at a slower speed, otherwise, we could have been injured and/ or injured others on the road. A basically new tire with very little use should not blowout in that manner. Given we are unsure of the safety related to the remaining three tires, we are having all four replaced with a different brand. Further, we cannot find a wheel to match the other three tires, so we are likely having to replace all four wheels, costing an estimated $1,800.
