In october, 2016, a year after purchase of the trailer (new), the front-left tire was found to be low on pressure (trailer was stationary at the time). Took tire and wheel assembly to local tire store and they found that the rim was cracked just inside one of the wheel spokes. Wheel was replaced by tredit tire and wheel (original oem supplier). early august of 2017, while trailer was stationary again, found that front-right wheel had low pressure. Took assembly to tire store and they found a similar crack in a similar location on that wheel. contacted tredit tire and wheel again and they replaced the defective wheel along with the other two original wheels (at my request and as a goodwill gesture) under warranty. neither tire deflated while driving or posed any danger. However, posts on a user forum regarding this specific wheel seem to indicate that others are having the same issue with this particular wheel design.
