Duro tires are complete crap, poo, worthless, and a disaster waiting to happen. I have two replaced and the third they only offered a discounted tire after two years old. 12 inch crack, deep, along the tread not the sidewall.

What manufactures are still using DURO tires? Obviously these tires are******and the trailer manufactures now know it. Are there any manufactures still playing Russian roulettte with your life and installing these time bombs on their trailers?

Apparently so - our new 2011 Puma came with Duro tires.

There are probably a lot of RVs being sold now with old (new?) parts on them. Due to the dramatic slowdown in volume over the las couple of years, many manufacturers are just now working thru the inventory they were stuck with.
In my case the propane tanks were almost 3 years old. Don't know about the tires as I changed them to Michelin immeadiatly.
