In october of 2005, the tread came completely off of one of the rear tires and damaged one side of the truck and part of the cab over camper. Then this past weekend, the same thing happened, the tread completely came off, really damaged the other side of the truck and also partially damaged the boat we were towing. The tires both times were still holding air, just threw the tread. …”
