I just found this web site after doing some research on these Milestar tires. I have a 2007 Komfort Kampsite and everyone of my tires are cracked, and need to be replaced. Komfort has been great is replacing them under the warrant, and sent me Duro tires. Does anyone know anything about these? They look like a decent tire, but I havn't found anything on the internet about them except the company make a lot of ATV tires.

Hi dfolk22 and Welcome to Outbackers

Our 2006 Outback came with Duro tires. They have been fine so far, but recently I did find a few small cracks along the edge of the tread of one of them. I would say though that anything is better than the Milestars. When our Duros do finally give out, we will upgrade to a set of Maxxi radials.

I am purchasing a used 07 31kfw with Milestar tires. They looked pretty good. They are ST225/75/D15 Date code 2906. I believe. Does anyone know if these are the recalled tires? I have looked online to try and see if I could figure out how to read the markings, but no luck so far. Will they replace them if you are the second owner?

I just talked to Tireco and they are sending me 5 new radials. They may not be the best tires they are sending but they have to be better than the old ones, and they are radials. Thanks to this forum I found out about the junk tires before I ever took delivery!

FYI my DOT code is 5YHH TCI 2906 & 5YHH TCI 3706.

I have the Milestar tires on my 07 25RSS and with less than 500 miles on them all four tires fell apart while on a trip to Yellowstone. Keep in mind we were only driving about 60 mph, had a very light load and were stopping about every two hours. They got very hot and fell apart causing a very dangerous situation. Keystone and Milestar has denied our claim so I am having to go after BlueCrick RV in Spokane WA to get a resolution. Please be careful with these tires and watch them closely.

We recieved our replacement Milestar's about a week and a half after I contacted Tireco. It was over a holiday weekend and were shipped from California to Florida, so not bad turn around. I got the local Firestone to Mount and Balance them, I took the fiver there and they took off old tires. Old tires had to be returned to Tireco via UPS at their expense.

We them left on a 2 hour drive and the new radials rode much better, and I had more peace of mind. I checked the date code on the new radials they sent and they were manufactured mid-2008, so they are new. I don't recall the brand but at least they are radials.

We have a 2007 23rs we have put over 10,000 km on the Milestar tires. Our first problem was this summer, we had a sidewall separate. Luckily I noticed the "pimple" before we took off and changed it. I noticed some minor cracking, but I have been keeping up with the armour all. IT seems to keep the tire from cracking much further. The tread is nearly worn, especially the back tires. I rotated this summers, I can't getting more than one reason out of the though. NExt summer I will probable replace them all.

HAs anybody changed to passenger car or truck tires? Is there a noticeable difference?

I dont think that there are really any good trailer tires around, goodyears seem to be the only ones that hold up. I have a set of load star bias tires on my old trailer that held up ok, they had to be put on to replace a set of duro tires that lasted less than a year. My outback has mission radials on it, I will see how these hold up. But I have some buddies who are switching the trailer tires to truck tires, and they are having some very good handling, and no weird treadwear, blowouts, or tire separation.

Hello All,

Our 2008 Outback 30RLS that we purchased last August has Duro tires. I have read through this entire thread and see that a few people have questioned these tires, however there does not seem to be much information on them.

Yesterday as I was crawling around under the trailer I happened to look at the tread on the tire closest to me. To my surprise I noted severe cracking between the treads. As a result I then looked at the other 3 and they are all in the same condition. I forgot to look at the spare, however will do that today.


Has anyone else had an issue with these Duro tires?

Have your tires checked out buy a dealer you will have to see them for warranty.
Noticed the map of Canada and USA on your page, How did you add that on.
Thanks Gary

Just a reminder to all that age has a lot to do with tire failure. I had a set of Goodyears on a trailer, and when they got 5 years old hardly any wear) one of them just blew. No reason, just age is what the tire dealer told me. I was on a straight smooth road, did not hit anything. There was no hole in the tire from a nail. It just popped, when the tread separated.

A crack is not neccesarily an indicator of a bad tire, and no cracks does not mean they will not let loose. The Goodyears I had had no signs of cracking.

The Duro's on my TT so far look fine. But I alway carry 2 spares anywhere I go.

I read other forums (truck ,camper, boating) and believe me, ALL brands have issues. With a trailer which is used intermittently- environment, age, inflation, and axle alignment have more to do with failures than brand name.
