Consumer Description

RIGHT REAR TIRE SEPARATED AT SIDE SEAM CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE AND MADE IT HARD TO CONTROL THE RV. THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED AT 80 PSI AS REQUIRED BY FORD AND THE RV INSTRUCTIONS. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SEEMS TO BE WEARING IMPROPERLY. WE ARE PLANNING ON A CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP THIS MONTH AND I'M HESITANT TO DRIVE ON THESE TIRES AS THE TREAD COULD SEPARATE THE SAME AS THIS DEFECTIVE TIRE. (TIRESIZE: LT225/7516)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT225/7516 )
