It's a known problem.
I read the warnings about the tires that came on my FW and decided to save my money and run them for a few years. I gambled and lost. Good news, we didn't have much damage and a low deductible. But it could have easily been much worse.
I feel for ya. Frustrating to spend good money on an RV and the tires are literally ticking time bombs.
