Towmax blown tires
We have had our 5th wheel for 1 1/2 years. We had all four original Towmax tires blow (at different times). The new replacements are now bad. We kept 80psi in the tires. I am very confuseed as to what...

Regarding the Firestone/Explorer situation, don't forget that Ford placarded 5k+ lb vehicles for an inflation of only 28-30 psi. Way, WAY underinflated for a vehicle that size =unloaded= let alone full of family and whatnot. No wonder they kept blowing tires and rolling. Just plain stupid on Ford's part, right along the lines of not using the proper length suspension bolts on Pintos back in the 70's.

I recall reading that Ford placarded 26 pounds!

Select "possible causes"!
Yep, 26 psi! Maybe Barry forgot about that detail?
