Incident: June 23, 2006 · Filed: June 28, 2006

MY FAMILY AND I WERE HEADED TO VACATION AT THE BEACH APPROXIMATLY 230 MILES FROM HOME. BOTH TIRES ON DRIVERS SIDE BLEW OUT 20 MILES FROM OUR DESTINATION. LUCKILY I BROUGHT TWO SPARES. WHEN LEVELING OUR STARCRFT TRAVEL TRAILER I NOTICED ONE TIRE ON PASSENGER SIDE HAD LARGE CHUNKS OF RUBBER MISSING AND RADIAL WIRES SHOWING, AS WELL AS WIRES COMING THROUGH THE SIDEWALL. I SPENT THREE DAYS AND $236.00 TRYING TO FIND TIRES. I ALWAYS CHECK FOR PROPER AIR PRESSURE AND FOR DEFECTS BEFORE GOING ON THE ROAD. THE BAD TIRES HAD LESS THAN 1500 MILES AND ARE CARLISLE 175/80/R13 DOT DB 1U H12R 1502. I DID HAVE A BLOWOUT A YEAR BEFORE WITH THE SAME TIRES. NOW I HAVE NO CARLISLE TIRES ON ANY PRODUCT THAT I OWN. *JB
