Marathon tires forest river 5th wheel. This is the second report and will talk about 2 more tires blowing on the same day within an hour of each other. Tires checked for tire pressure before going on road. This was a 2 lane road heavily traveled. Going downhill at safe speed for weather conditions. We were going into a curve and a big explosion of tire and side of our rv head into the woods. Luck would have it there was a turn out just 75 feet from us. This first one took the fender off. The second blow out took place on 4 lane hwy that is heavily traveled. This time our family member behind see the tire blow and we pull over...unfortunately we are out of spares. We replace all tires with a different brand from a local brand who helped get us out of danger. Terrible tires and goodyear blames us.
