Have you experienced a tire blow out...?
I suppose many of us have gone through the harrowing experience of a tire blow out. Have you?...tell us about it. Maybe this post will be of benefit to those new to the RV'ing world and maybe others....

Goodyear 670, 19.5. Drivers' side inside rear. Hole, maybe the size of a quarter on the inside (facing the center of the motorhome). I-10, east of El Paso...construction going on at the time.
3 years old (new with the motorhome) with around 25000 miles on it. Tire guy from Coach-net said I "hit something"...also, because of this, had some kind of black "marks" on the side of the toad. (that came off easy enough). Was able to pull off the road quickly, no damage to anything other than the (now) destroyed tire. Used the spare...Coach-net was great.
Whole thing took me off the road for about 2 hours. Lucky. Got home 3 days later, got new tires. ALSO GoodYear G670s, 19.5" No problems so far, 52,000 miles on the motorhome.
