I was driving on the highway at 55 MPH when the tread on a firestone steeltex r4s (225/75r16) partially separated. This resulted in significant damage to the underside of the vehicle (2000 jayco eagle rv). I am taking the rv to a repair shop later this week but would estimate the damage in the range of a few to several thousand dollars. A spare tire was used to replace the defective tire. I have the defective tire.
