I have been closely monitoring the kumho road venture at lt215/85 r16s on my 2010 fleetwood pulse motorhome because other owners have reported problems on the pulse yahoo forum. Today, I noticed a 4 to 5 inch long, 1 inch high bulge on the shoulder between the tread and sidewall on my left rear inner dual. The tire was fully inflated. The motorhome has only been driven a few hundred miles in the past 6 weeks, since I last inspected the tires. Kumho failures on fleetwood pulse / icon / quest motorhomes have been frequently reported. They are on 2008 dodge sprinter chassis and the date code indicates manufacture early in 2007. Dot code h20p yd4a 2307. It seems that a recall would be warranted. (also, please note that several other similar complaints can be found by searching under the "kumho" "kumho" line of tires. Many of them seem to be the road venture(s) at line of tires.)
