| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This year, i purchased a new bass cat bass boat from pop's marine, toano, va. the trailer has a dual axle and came with five firestone firehawk p205/70r 14 93s ss10 m + s tires -- four on the ground and one in the spare position. in may, having put less than 200 miles on the trailer tires, i was in the act of returning to the dealer for the required 20 hour warranty check on the boat motor. i fueled my tow vehicle at the flying j truck stop at carmel church, va. and, since the trailer had not been on the road in several weeks, i checked the air pressure in all the tires. the tires were properly inflated per the instructions on the tire wall. leaving the flying j, i headed south on interstate 95. just pass the ashland, va. exit, the right rear trailer tire simply disintegrated. there was the sound of an explosion and only a small bit of carcass remained attached to the wheel. the rest of the tire simply disappeared. thank you for allowing me to register this complaint. if you need further information, please let me know.
