Look up high into your wheel well and see if there is anything broken and hanging from your slide out stabilizers. This happened to me a few years ago with my 2002 Montana. It had a piece of stabilizer hanging and if a hit a bump hard enough it would drive the tire up into the broken piece and blow the tire. If this is the case take your unit to the closest lippet store and have them upgrade your stabilizers.
As I also stated on this thread or another one, I lost the tread off of a GY 615 and GY ended up replacing all 4 tires free of charge, BUT, when we looked at the tire that lost it's tread, (never lost one psi), we noticed we only had about an 1" of clearance between top of tire (where it would have been, and the wheel well), found out 5er had a sagging spring pack. Replaced it and height from wheel well to top of tire was a little over 3"...might be another thing some may want to check...seems sagging spring packs can come back to haunt you..it's now another thing I add to my inspection list when going over my 5er.
