This tire was mounted on my Forest River XLR Micro. The vehicle tires are rated for 2450lbs each @ 80 PSI. I was traveling with less than 8000lbs weight of the RV, and I had two of these tires blow out from the Sidewall/ tread area with in 20 miles of each other. This was the 3rd tire to blow out of the 5 original tires. I ALWAYS check my tire premeasure prior to traveling with my RV, and I know this trip I had 78-79 PSI cold. The tires were in very good shape, and had approximately 6400 miles on them. I have contacted the manufacture of tires, and they refused any warranty. I have also read online that other RVers have had the same issue with these tires. There should be a RECALL or…

Lionshead Castlerock st225/75r15 tire. We had 3 tires fail in 5 weeks, I filed seperate reports on the two that caused damage and high risk situations since it asks location of tire and doesn't give multiple as an option so I will focus on just this one in this report. We found the missing tread and delamination when we inspected and replaced this tire after the other 2 blowouts. This did cause a risky situation as we had to drive on damaged tire for 30 miles in the dark to find a dealer and sleep in their parking lot util they opened since we had already used our spare on the blow tire. At this time we have contacted the mfg of both the tires and trailer, filing warrantee paperwork with…

Lionshead Castlerock ST225/75R15 Tires on XLR Boost Toy Hauler Trailer. Within 5 weeks we had 3 tires fail in 2 incidents. I have already filed on the 2nd incident, but since it asks for tire location I am filing this second complaint for first incident. In the incident in which the front passenger side tire failed, we were traveling along Hwy 2 outside of Monroe Washington headed up Stevens Pass to a campground in Eastern Washington. The tire blew out traveling about 55mph on a paved highway. When it blew a large section of tread turned into a flap that damaged the underside of the trailer tearing off insulation and vapor barrier. We had to change the tire on the side of the road with…

ST225/75R15 Castlerock Tires by Lionshead. We actually had three of these tires fail on this vehicle in 2 seperate incidents within 5 weeks. I will file them seperately as it asks tire location and doesn't give option for multiple. In the incident in which the Rear Passenger Side Tire failed, we were driving about 60mph on Mississippi Highway towing the 2021 XLR Boost Toy hauler trailer with a Ram3500 dually around 3am. We had checked pressures and visually inspected the tires before leaving Tennessee at midnight. The tire tread blew apart leaving a large strip that spun and severely damaged the underside of the trailer and ripped off wire harness. We were forced to change the tire and tie…

Multiple Tires: On highway travelling 55 - 60 mph when the tire blew on trailer. Tread went flying onto highway and damaged the underneath and side of the trailer. We checked tire pressure before we left on our short trip. Tires had minimal usage (estimated 1500 miles total). This was the worst one but on same trip another tire failed where tread separated from tire on 7/29/22. I have included photos of both and spare on trailer now with indicative info. The first flat however we were notified by passerby and were able to pull off highway and change the tire before any damage. Once we arrived home, my husband noticed another tire is warped. This is a total failure of these tires requiring…
