I had a blow out this past week on my Akuret tires. Of course I substained wheel well damage and rim damage where it contacted the roadway. Does anyone have the address of Akuret tires so I can try to file a claim with them? I think the mother company is del mar or something along that line.
Thanks so much for the tire information. I have already composed a letter to Del Nat and will mail it out tomorrow. It will be interesting if they respond or pay for any damage.
I wonder if anyone has been successful getting Del Nat to pay for damages or even replace their tires.
I had about 8 thousand miles or slightly more on them. Nitrogen filled, always checked temp at every stop. Was running in the rain just prior to the blow out. I never heard it or felt it. I just saw the smoke and the entire tread part in one piece rolling down the roadway..
most of my towing is right on 60 mph. Oh I am sure there are times I have exceeded 70 going down hills or trying to get around someone then back to 60. I dont think short spurts should hurt the tires if they did then my car tires would have blown many times over when I was younger and not unusual to exceed 100. Far beyond their ratings.
I mailed out the letter asking for reimbursements and a new set of tires since they are all from the same lot. I will let you know what the reply is if anything. I would be surprised if I get a reply at all.
I ordered new Maxxis and waiting for their arrival..I got them online for 133 each.

Could you link the tires you went with?

I'm also looking to replace my Akuret tires. I don't know what would be the best tire to go with.
Tanman is going with Maxis, which I will probably go with also. Anybody have any other brands that would be better. I would like to hear more comments on this topic. Thanks
