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.
DT: THE TREAD CAME OFF THE TIRE AROUND 28,000 MILES, TIRE WAS UP TO PRESSURE, BUT DID ABOUT 3000.00 TO MOTORHOME. *AK
