1. type tire
Bridgestone
2. age (years) of tire
5 years
3. where located (front, rear outside, etc.)
right inner rear
4. cause if known
Unknown.
5. how did you change or get the tire changed. If with a roadside service company...were you satisfied with response and service?
Roadside service through Progressive. They were fast and got us back on our way!
6. did the blow out cause you to lose control or an accident
No.
7. did the coach sustain damage?
No damage, but could see the where the tire slapped the underside of the coach.
9. Any other information you think might be 'educational' or of some benefit to a newbie.
We were on highway going 50-ish when it happened. Slight tug in that direction, pulled over after letting off accelerator without using brakes. Lucky to be in a good spot to wait and for service to do their thing!
