Blowouts on front passenger side tire
We have just had our second blowout on the front passenger side tire on our Class A Beaver Marquis 2005. In weighing the coach, we are pretty heavy for the weight of the tires the manufacturer put on...

We had a total of 5 blowouts (Good year) before changing to Michelins. The tire dealer thought the tires might have been a size too small. We have had no problems with the Michelins so far. We also don't try to load the motorhome with too much stuff.
Each time we had a blowout CoachNet sent a wrecker/service rep and either changed the tire on the road (twice on the interstate) or towed us to the nearest dealer.
Five blowouts on a light coach? Your 32 foot Allegro probably weigh's less then half of what that Beaver Marquis weigh's, so my point is that the Marquis which is one of the heaviest coaches made because of the granite tops probably weighing around 45K lbs versus yours at probably 16K lbs. To have five blow outs in five years there had to be something wrong with the tires from the start, not because of the weight. You just got five defective tires.
While the Beaver Marquis most likely was over weight and if they were the original tires then they should have been changed out. They would have been eight years old already. No excuse for letting tires go that long.
