1997 Fleetwood Tioga Tires Problems

“While traveling on the interstate the tread portion of the tire de-laminated and separated from the main tire. I pulled over to check on the tire and it was still inflated it did not loose any air pressure but the steel belts were showing. I had the tire replaced and the tire technician had told me that he had never seen a tire have the tread seperate from the main body of the tire. I have 4 more tires on my motor home that are the same type and I am concerned for the safety of my family and do not feel comfortable with the tires. …”
