While driving interstate rt.80 in nabraska this july ; at about 70 MPH I, I experianced a near fatal blowout of my left rear inner tire. It also damaged the outter tire as well. I was able to get the motor home under control, and get to an exit. We had to wait 5 hrs. To get it repaired. We got home ok. The very next time we where go out , as soon as I got up to highway speed I felt a pulling to the right and a very bad vibritions. I had to stop and go back home; at closer inspection, I discovered both front tires had belt seperation . I just avioded what could have been a big problem. Our 31 foot class 'c' fleetwood jamboree gt would have made a mess.*ak (dot number: vd1l1xd217 tiresize: 225/75r16)
Driving on an interstate highway, the tread separated from the tire around the entire circumference. Failure was instantaneous and explosive. Minor damage was sustained to the vehicle from tire debris. Control was maintained as the tire was one of dual rear tires. I contacted both my local ford dealer and firestone dealer, but they showed no interest. I am still in possession of the failed tire, but no longer have the remaining tires as I replaced them. The tread depth of the failed tire and the remaining original tires was very good, although I don't recall the exact measurement. A goodyear dealer evaluated the tires, and recommended not changing the tires based on their condition. I only did so as a precaution.*ak (tiresize: lt225/75r1)( dot number: tire size: lt225/75r1 )
