Yikes. Those don't look like stock wheels. Were they the original wheels and tires?

2 axles, passenger side just under the kitchen slide. The propane lines to the stove and refrigerator were actually wound around the rim twice where the tire was, along with the side marker light and refrigerator wiring. I am just glad it didn't rub through the propane line because it could have been a quick unhook to save the truck.

Yes, stock wheels and china bombs on 2014 V3305.

You need to bite the bullet & replace those with 17.5" wheels & tires. Don't do what I did on my Teton. I lost nine tires before I spent the $ and installed 17.5" Those are now on my Voltage.

I had one blow out that did over $4,000 worth of damage. They had to replace part of the floor in the kitchen. Insurance covered all the cost except for my deductable.

Were those Westlake tires?

So I have submitted a claim with Unicorn Tire Corporation for the defective set of Akuret HF188 tires that were on the trailer. The three tires that were defective all had a production date of 2612. I am looking for any others that have documented there defective Akuret HF188 tires and have a production date to share.
