Look What Tires Can Do!

Well, I think I may be able to post some pix now. Plus the story has gotten even more interesting.
The first picture I will post shows the tire that failed on our way up to Arkansas. As said in the original post, I got this taken care of and sent a claim to my warranty organization, "Tire Shield". They turned me down saying that the tire was not damaged but failed and that's not covered!!! Paperwork did agree so I have little recourse here. Sent a claim to the manufacturer (Unicorn Tire, Memphis, Tennessee) last Friday 11/17. Don't expect much but we'll.
Now things get real interesting. This last Sunday, 11/19, I am sitting in my living room about 9pm. I suddenly heard a very loud "bang" from the front of the house. It was so loud, it brought my neighbor out, wondering what had happened. I discovered that the front, driver's side tire had blown at the same point the passenger side, rear tire had developed the large bubble. This happened, in the driveway, tires clean, inspected and covered about a week ago and the temps in the 40s!!! Needless to say, I was stunned. Took picture of this tire and sent them to Unicorn with an addendum to the first letter. Here is a picture of the most recent failed tire;
I honestly expect little from Unicorn but plan to continue this through Winnebago. I know these tires don't last a long time but a little over 5000 miles wear and having one totally fail in the driveway is a bit much. Will post back here as things progress.
Happy Camping!
