Tire blowout

The person that changed my tire said that a belt had slipped. It was destroyed. As for the dates, my new tires are 2014 per the DOT code. The old ones were probably original to the rv which is a 2009 Winnebago Class A. It had about 33,000 miles on it at the time of purchase.

It is a good thing that the blown tire was one of my back, tandem tires. When I inspected the tire at the purchase of my RV and later, when the tire store looked at them before my trip, the sidewalls looked fine. I should have known better.

dale.....what was the date code on your old tires? Was it a sidewall blow out?

Because I'm a snoop.....what is the date code on your new tires?

Thanks

great now you can have fun on your trip, its all part of rving.

As soon as I got to a major city, I purchased 6 new tires so it wouldn't happen again. Before I left on my trip, I took my RV to a tire store where they said they were OK to go. Obviously, they were wrong.

Now if only the ESP worked the same.......:B

Course most posts about GSRA are like your post about ESP

now check the rest of the tires, theres a code date on them ,if there five yrs old or look bad change them NOW .a tire blow out can cause thousands of dollars in damage.
