1995 Bounder Motorhome problems

Filed Aug 1, 2007 · Tires · MD

As I was traveling south on i270 around columbus, ohio at approximately 65 MPH, the right front tire exploded. Luckily I was able to safely maneuver the rv to the shoulder of the road. The tire had a little over 5,000 miles on it. The tire involved is a michelin x 225/70r 19.5 xrv. When the tire exploded, it took out a shield protecting the propane tank. I think the shield also took out two wires connected to the propane take since the wires were ripped from where they belonged. A little more force and the propane tank could have been hit and who knows what would have happened. The wheel as well as the wheel cover were destroyed as well. I have read on the internet that this is not the first incident involving michelin rv tires. This is the reason for writing this complaint. Also, I have three other michelin tires on the rv which I purchased at the same time as the one that exploded and quite frankly, I don't feel safe driving it with those tires on there.
