Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The 1st tire failed (exploded) in august 7, 2000, the 2nd tire 7/20/01 & the 3rd was on 7/21/01. these tires were on our boat trailer when we bought it in march, 2000. the previous owners purchased the boat/trailer package new in the summer of 1999 and these were the original tires. all 3 of them had less than 2,000 miles on them at the time they failed. in all 3 instances the side of the tire "exploded" and you could see the belt (very frayed) sticking out of the large hole. fortunately this is a double axel trailer and was controlable at the time of the blow out. if it had been a single axel trailer, i probably wouldn't be here to report this. i feel that these tires pose a safety hazard and would like this matter to be investigated. please feel free to contact me for any further information.*ak (tiresize: st205/75r1)
