“Purchased new 5th wheel trailer in december of 2017 with goodyear marathon st235/80r16, load range e tires installed. While driving at 55 MPH on a somewhat curvy and hilly state highway with 4800 miles on rv, the left rear tire tread came completely off the tire damaging the rv in the process. I pulled to shoulder and failed tire had a significant leak, but did not blow out so I replaced it with the spare. I have TPMS installed on all 4 wheels which reports tire pressure and temperature. All 4 tires were nominal just prior to failure. …”
