In owners' words
What Trailer owners report
Recent tires complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
4 TOW MASTER TRAILER RADIALS HAVE FAILED IN A PERIOD OF JUST OVER 1 YEAR. THESE ARE USED ON A BOAT TRAILER AND THEY ARE VERY LOW MILEAGE. I AM CONVINCED THESE TIRES ARE JUST POOR QUALITY AND MIGHT BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.
