    Westlake G rated tire failure

    I have a 2019 Solitude 374THR triple axel 20K GVW which I am not close to. It had Westlake ST235 80 R16 G rated tires. I also have a TPMS on them, well running down hwy 95 in Idaho at 62 MPH (I don't go over 65 MPH) I heard a bomb go off then my TPMS alarmed. You guessed it 1 of my rear tires blew, the whole center of the tire was gone!! The tires were just 4 years old based on the date code on the tires. I put the spare on an changed all the tires to Sailun's.

    No damage to the coach? I hope. Glad you had a quick resolution.

    We don't hear many G rated tire failures. The center gone with not coach damaged .. lucky ! Wonder if it was road hazard per just an out right failure. Our 16" Westlake made it about the same time when the thread split open we don't know if it was failure of the tire or hazard result. Luckily for us we caught it before we went on the road. Our tires at that time were E-rated not G-rated.

    Oh I had damage but I was able to repair it so it didn’t look so bad. When we get to our winter spot I will repair it so it looks perfect!! It’s really not a thing being a perfectionist!!!
