Consumer Description

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)
