Hey now they have made Great strides to Improve these Tires! Look one improvement is they "Obliterate the Sidewall" so the Brand Name can NOT be seen!  Youroo!!

Those ARE the D Rated Castle Rock tires.
It's an 8-ply rated at 2,540 lbs. at 65 psi.
There an awful lot of rubbing marks on the sidewall, I'm wondering if that caused the failure, or if that was from the failure.

Thanks. My 2018 Coachmen Apex 249 came with the D's. Gross weight is 7,000 pounds. Because of that, thought they might hold up for a while, but not so sure now.

I don't suspect road hazard since it new apart evenly around the outside edge. May have a bent axle that wore the tread down until it let go. Boom!

From my observations being passed on highway by delivery transporters, surprised doesn't happen more. When they pass me it isn't long before out of sight.

Maybe the person delivering the camper was going in excess of the 65 mph rating. Did they check tire pressure before transport? Who knows. Not their unit.
