It sounds like you were very lucky those three blown tires didn't cause more than inconvenience.
Here
is a good link to tell you how to check the age of your tires. You might want to check the new tires you bought because they can sometimes be sitting on the shelves for years and are still "old" tires even though they have never been used. Tread doesn't tell the story.
After checking out this link I went out to check the age of the new tires I purchased along the way.
The two tires in WV were manufactured in the 48th wk of 2012. The two in Charleston were manufactured the 51st wk of 2012. So, these places done me good.
That got me thinking about the 4 that were replaced.. (3 that blew and the one that survived), but they are now gone. So, I checked the spare. That was produced in '03 and I have to assume the others were the same. That means that those tires were 2 yrs. old when my RV was built new. Wow! Needless to say, that spare will come off of there before our next trip!!
We learned a hard lesson but you can bet that will never happen again.
Thanks for the link and the information.
