What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Tire pressure was always checked and was correct at the time of blowouts. Tires were about 2.5 years old, about 8000 miles. Tread looked great before failure. This appears to be a common occurance and nhtsa should investigate, and get these dangerous tires off the road.
On the fifth trip I arrived at the campground and noticed the rf tire tread had come off in a large section and parts of the steel belt were exposed. I ended up replacing all four tires because I read other complaints from rv owners with similar problems with these tires (castle rock st235/80r16).
While driving west bound on interstate 80 about three miles outside of truckee california our back tire tread separated from the tire. It proceeded to slap against the wiring of the silde out that supplies all our power to our kitchen.
