Obviously this could could happen to any RV so you have to pay close attention to tires. But, is there a type of RV (travel trailer, 5th wheel, class C or class A) most likely to be damaged.
Most likely to be damaged? Those with cheap ST tires 95% of the time. Chris
I tow a lot.
I can think of 5 tread separations I have had. Three on my fifth-wheel. Two were on fully inflated North American LT tires. One was from a brake that stuck and heated up the tire.
Two on my boat trailer with ST Marathons, one made in USA and one Canada. Those were fully inflated as well.
I still avoid Chinese tires, but they all certainly have the potential to fail.
