2000 Fleetwood Tioga Tires Problems

“We had a blowout of tire - tire was correctly inflated. Cost of changing tire was $55.00 the tire had 6000 miles and firestone store charged me half price of a new tires - $68.00 would not do full replacement of tire which I think they should have. Firstone steeltex-radial r4s lt225/75r16m5”

“The inside dual class d tire of a 23 foot motorhome (approximately 10,000 pounds) went flat due to cracking failure of the valve stem. Instead of remaining intact, since it was supported by the other dual tire, the flat tire developed a 12 inch sidewall split where it meets the tread. Above the mid-range of the split the tread separated from the tire exposing a 3x6 inch section of steel belts. I observed on the inside of this tubeless tire flex fractures, that had severed the cord of the sidewall but not the outer rubber, extending several inches beyond the ends of the split. …”

“While driving and without warning the tires experienced tread separation which made it difficult for the driver to control the vehicle (size#lt22575r16 please provide the DOT#).”

“Tire blew out and the tread separated at 65 MPH; we were very lucky that the tire was an inside dual tire on the rear. Otherwise a crash was highly probable. (tiresize: lt225/75r1)”

“New tire due to warranty exchange, less than 2000 miles on rear tires of motorhome. Traveling on fwy approximately 65 MPH and passanger rear inside tire blew-out. Complete tread separation and sidewall blowout. Air pressure checked prior to leaving on trip less than 150 miles prio to blow-out. This tire and 3 others, same size and brand, had just been replaced due to weather cracking of prior tires. Prior tires had less than 15,000 miles on them before replacement. Luckily no crash, due to the blowout happening on crowded sunday afternoon freeway traffic in southern california. …”
