Consumer Description

MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELLING IN OUR 1997 WINNEBAGO MINNIE WINNIE CLASS C RV AT APPROX. 55 MPH ON RT. 44 IN MIDDLEBOROUGH, MA WHEN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW AND THE RV IMMEDIATELY PULLED LEFT TOWARD ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PULL BACK TO THE RIGHT AND SAFELY PULL OVER. UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, THE TREAD ON THE TIRE HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS THE SIDEWALL. THE TIRE IS A FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL R4S, SIZE LT225/75R16. WE PURCHASED THE RV IN OCTOBER 2004 AND THIS WAS ONLY OUR SECOND TRIP IN IT (FIRST IN 2005). THE TIRE WAS NOT WORN AT ALL AND APPEARED TO BE NEW WHEN WE PURCHASES THE RV.
