This is our first post, after years of reading this helpful Forum. We felt compelled to share our Power King Tow Max tire experience on our relatively new 2013 Greystone 30CK which we purchased last year. A couple of months ago we arrived home from a 5,300 mile trip, and a total of about 12-14K miles on our Power King Tow Max tires. As we had put a fair amount of mileage on our rig, I was getting concerned about the tires, although they had been wearing and holding pressure well. I regularly checked the tire pressure on all tires and they have held at 80psi. I was even more concerned in the last couple of months, after reading and researching the posts on this Forum. So we recently purchased a TPMS.
Yesterday, I couldn't remove the cover on the tires on the left side of the RV. The tire was jammed against our retracted slide! How could this be?! After extending the slide a bit and removing the tire cover, there was a big bubble on the tire. I have pictures, but cannot attach. The bubble formed with the RV just parked on our driveway! This particular tire was made the first week of 2012 (0112). Thank goodness the tire didn't blow on the road!
Per the recommendations on this Forum, we called our local Discount Tire and ordered 4 replacement Maxxis tires. They do not carry these in stock, so they needed to be ordered - 3-5 days for delivery.
Although we love our Greystone, we do not understand why and are disappointed that Heartland would continue to put these inferior tires on its RVs that can cause significant damage or worse, as repeatedly presented on this Forum.
Thanks.
