I have 275/70/22.5 Michelins XZA 2 LRJ rating.
Using an infrared gun, what should the approx tire temperature be after running at 60 MPH on the highway when you stop at 75 degs outside? Pressure on fronts 115 PSI and on the back 100 PSI
Anyone know?

I looked that tire up on their web site. There are 2 different load range tires in that type. Hopefully you had the heavier load range. Even that looks to be a fairly light duty tire for what you are doing with it. What is the weight on the rear axle. If it is much more than 60% of the tire rating you will have problems. That's why most of the bigger rigs went to 22.5 truck tires. Motor homes exert a lot of force on the rear tires due to the long overhang in the rear. You might want to look at a heavier duty tire.

Well, just to report, we made it home safely without further incident. Now, the damage identification and repair estimates begin. And the whole hassle of it all....
.....not to mention ever getting my confidence back in driving a motorhome again so I can enjoy the reason I bought it in the first place....relaxation. I don't want to be on pins and needles every time I pull out of the driveway wondering if I'm going to make it to my destination and be able to make it back home safely. Not sure how I'll build my trust back.....

OP, please correct if I have this wrong. You blew the inside dual tire probably because of age. You replaced all of the tires with new tires. You had a tread separation on the outside new tire with a date code of 2214.
Yes, that is the way I read the posts. Sounds like Goodyear needs to step up to the plate! There is no way to blame that kind of failure on the owner. He put on all new tires, they were properly inflated, and it sure doesn't sound like it was overloaded.
"They were properly inflated". Maybe, maybe not. There could have been a leaking valve stem, rim or tire. You could check the pressure, and have a leak minutes later which would cause pressure loss, excessive heat build up, and tire delamination. If Goodyear performs a detailed evaluation of the tire, they'll probably have a pretty good idea of what happened. This is another case that justifies the use of a TPMS unit.
The tire still had air in it AFTER the tread separated!
