Outlaw, just curious, did you mash on the accelerator pedal when the tire blew?
It is a hard instinct to follow but it has been said over and over to press on the accelerator to gain control then ease off once you can manage the coach.
I'm certainly not an expert but friends had rivering problems with Goodyear tires back in '08.
Our '08 Dynasty came with Michelins and I replaced them with Michelins after 7.5 yrs. (no problems). I drove the new set for about a year and half before I put the coach on consignment.
The new coach came with Michelins and at 39,000 miles, no problems. I do check the tires for anything unusual and so far all has been well. I have a built-in TPMS so that is an additional tool for piece-of-mind.
We all know a tire can go at anytime, hope that your new set will work well for you!
Safe travels,
