Bought tires 2013. Rv sat for 18 months with tires covered in so cal. 100 miles into this trip and waiting for roadside assistance to install the spare. Do you think i can just buy 1 tire at next tire store? Any telltale signs to know if the others are in their way? Really dont have money to spend on another full set. Tread basically came off inner rear tire.

There's your sign.

Hi Jeff92804 - When safe to do so, look at the date code on the side of your tires for date of manufacture. As tires age, they become more susceptible to the type of blowout you described. If you bought them 3 years ago, they could be 4 or 5 years old.

Thanks again
