Dt: good year tires, failur on right rear outside deul, tread seperation happened, damagae to the motor home. Looking at the right front tries, I found buldges on the tread, spare tire also had a buldge type spot on it. I have called goodyear, and said they could pro rate for new ones.
While driving 60 mph front driver's side tire blew out. Consumer stated that front axle was overloaded.
Four tires blew out, the forth tire blew the fender weld out
The gvwr of the motor home is grossly insufficient for the intended use. I believe this vehicle is a danger to my family and other vehicles on the road. The motor home has a gvwr of 19,400 pounds. The front axle rating is 6,000 pounds with the rear axles carrying the balance of 13,400 pounds.
Brake squealed repeatedly and front brake shoes failed several times, afterward brake drums were unfitted. Yh
