just wondering... tire shreads

My tires are under my slide outs and one tire didn't blow but list the tread and caused damage to the bottom of the slide and the areas behind. As we were repairing the damage I figured had I had a shield above the tires that extended beyond where the tires could damage with a tire tread failure again that would stop much of the damage. So I went to the local heating and A/C shop that made sheet metal duct work to cut and bend me the sheets I needed. They had various thicknesses of metal and I chose the thickest and had it bent to fit exactly where I want it to go. About a dozen self taping screws per side and I'm kind of bullet proof now should it ever happen again. The use of a tire pressure monitor system is something I strongly recommend but if the tire just peels a tread without losing any pressure it won't show, but that is a rare occurrence. Normal tire failures are related to low tire pressures. I think my metal shields cost about 20 bucks each as I recall.
