Tire replaced after blowout
On a return trip from California to Oregon we sustained a blowout on a rear inside tire. We called GS Roadside assistance and were assisted by Transit Pro tire service. Within two hours we had what we thought was a new Goodyear tire mounted and ready to go.The cost was shocking but we were stranded and had little choice but to accept the charges. The total cost was $1125.34. The price of the tire alone was $782.08. After reading several articles in RV related publications I learned one should always check the DOT date when purchasing a tire. When I checked the tire provided by the GS contractor who mounted my tire I was shocked to find that the DOT date was 2915. This indicates that the tire I paid so much for was actually two years old at the time of service. Not only was I taken advantage of on the price I now had a two year old tire going forward. My best advise is: Do not call Transit Pro through GS if you experience a blowout because you will be charged the highest possible price and probably sold a tire that is anything but manufactured currently. Be forewarned and carry a spare as well.
