Read complaints for HEARTLAND BIGHORN (2013)
Traveling approximately 60 mph on route 78 west just outside of allentown pennsylvania, the left rear tire -power king towmax st 235/80 r 16load range (e) on our heartland bighorn 3185 (2013) sustained a blowout causing severe damage to the left rear end of our 5th wheel trailer including but not limited to cosmetic damage (fenders etc) rear axl damage, brake damage, hydraulic lines, brake lines, undercarriage damage etc.thankfully all passengers were unharmed and no other vehicles were involved with this incident.further inspection of the tire suggests either tread separation or a side wall blowout that lead to the tread separation.the tread did not tear off of the tire allowing the separated tread to cause the extensive damage as previously stated. The trailer was not overloaded and had weight evenly distributed.tires were meticulously kept, and pressure was at suggested 80 psi.
Bought this camper in january of2013 from camping world of calera alabama on way to florida .went on then back to wisconsin. Came to florida again and now on way home an hour in to trip the tire begins to fail! looks like inner cords failing. Fortunately my son was following and warned me of what he could see happening.called sales people but were left hanging, can't believe these tires don't last more than4000 miles and no one takes responsibility, someone could get killed .
We purchased our 5th wheel nov 4, 2012 - experienced our first tire bubble 12/10/2013; second tire bubble 12/19/2013. We had been advised by several bighorn owners that they replaced their "china" tires prior to hitting the road, but casual inspection on my part indicated that the power king tires installed were sufficient for the application - i was incorrect. There are numerous posts online that these tire mfg misrepresent their tire's adequacy. The tire dealer that replaced my tires ( they are a dealer and install power king on smaller rigs ) confirm that these tires are overstating their ability to carry the rated load. Fortunately our bubbles appeared on the exterior walls- we discovered both prior to departures. Apparently other owners have not been so lucky and have suffered major damage to their rigs.
