- RV Tire Blowout | How Much Damage Did Our New Travel Trailer Take??
We had our first tire blowout on our new trailer the last day of our cross country trip. We have done this cross country trip two other times before in our previous trailer with no problems so we had never experienced a tire blowout previously. We were shocked to see what damage was sustained by the trailer when we blew a tire and wanted to share our experience! If you have had a similar experience with damage to your RV, please comment down below!
We had a blowout a couple of months ago to our Alpha Wolf it did $10,000 years worth of damage. New trailer by the way. We are still working with the insurance to get a repair. We are full time rv so figuring out the logistics is difficult. Well now I am sitting on the side of the road with another blow out and extensive damage on the other side. I am so over this. You would think they could come up with a better tire in 2023! What kind of tires did you end up going with?.
I am so sorry to hear that has happened to you twice! It took us forever to get ours fixed due to parts not being available. It was well over a year. We went with E rated Goodyear Endurance tires on the trailer in this video. Thankfully, Grand Design did start putting better tires on at least some of their RVs. We now have a 2023 Grand Design 2910 BH that came with Goodyear tires. They have been great on both trailers, no more issues. Good luck to you, I hope you are able to get yours fixed and don't have to go through this again!
Update we found out there are thousands of complaints against this tire and Forest River. Yet they keep on selling them on their trailers. They know how dangerous this is and could careless. We came so close to losing total control the first time. I am glad to be here to tell this story. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.
It's criminal, in my opinion. Sorry again this happened to you! @@sharoncaren1627
Yes I just changed it out on my Fithwheel same damage got the piece I needed from Forestriver and replaced it
Hi brother, feel your pain. Happened to me as well.
I bought these to avoid this nightmare.
RV Defender
Check out the video, it will blow you away. Next time, the only damage will be limited to the tire.
No matter what you do, you will get blowouts.
Sorry it happened to you as well. Thanks, we will check those out!
The same thing happen to my 5th wheel on new good tires I don't travel faster than 60 mph now . This also happen when I had a tire monitor system on.
I'm sorry to hear that! We have lowered our speed as well now, after our experience. It's a scary thing when it happens.
I'm just glad you are all safe! Take care!
Thank you!💛
The speed rating on a tire is not the speed you can travel. The speed rate is only based on that top speed for a maximum of 30 minutes. Yes speed rating is base on 30 minutes of continuous top speed. Going 70mph with a trailer is too fast you might consider not going over 65mph. Glad no one got hurt.
Makes sense about the speed rating. I don't recall whether we said in this video or not, but we bought better tires and also drive slower now.
Also, I never go over 55.
I know, slow, but MUCH safer.
That is true!!
I would highly recommend to go to a heavier grade tire - those are Grade C - And should of been a grade D... Manufactures only put on the bare minimum and really need too go back to school and rethink there weights. I own a 1988 Prowler Regal and Up graded my tires to a grade D rating And my trailer is a heavy unit 6500 dry to {7200 LBS when fully Loaded}
So it might be good for you to do that as well and AND take in to account the AGE of the tire The code date on which it was manufactured and replace your tires when they approach 6 years That is very important...
After this experience, we went with E rated Goodyear Endurance tires on the trailer. No problems after that. Good tip on age of tires! Our trailer was pretty new at the time this happened, so I would expect that the tires were as well, but maybe not.
RV-De-Fender could have saved the day.
I just ran across your video when u had the blow out on ur new trailer. The Chinese company that made them had to recall over 450,000 tires because of tread coming off at highway speeds, it was responsible for at least 2 deaths. The tires were made for cars, light pickups, vans, and trailers. It is my understanding that Grand Design no longer uses those tires.
Thanks for the info. That is really sad that it sounds like people had to die before anything changed. We now have a 2023 Grand Design 2910 BH that came with Goodyear tires. Not all of the GD trailers did have them at the time we bought ours, some still had Chinese tires. Sounds like they do now. Glad to hear it.
We have exactly same RV just outside Lake Murray SC from East TN. I stay at 65-70 mph our trailer is ‘21 model SAME EXACT tires… blew passengers side torn the skirting off. Tire completely came apart. Had it replaced on the road shoulder went approx 5 miles and the drivers side tire blew.. both tires were what I’d call a catastrophic blow out lots of damage to that side also…
We we’re 40 miles from our campsite….
I’d say Grand Design needs to reconsider A BETTER TIRE CHOICE… I’m sure we’ve got $5-10k in damages… plus all the money it took for replacement and roadside service… it’s was hell to say the least. Will see how the Insurance makes good …on this. I thought I maintained these tires only being 2.5 years old.. found out dry rot had set in and we even keep
It stored indoors climate controlled… so much for that.
So sorry to hear this happened to you, too. I think they must have gotten some heat over the tires they were using because Grand Design did start putting better tires on at least some of their RVs. We now have a 2023 Grand Design 2910 BH that came with Goodyear tires. They need to put them on ALL their RVs though!
Enjoyed your video on the 2910BH! I am seriously buying one too. I'm curious as to what your tow vehicle is. I will be pulling it with a GMC Sierra Denali which is rated for 9200 lbs. The trailer is within its capabilities but I wanted to see if you are pulling it with a half ton truck and if so what your thoughts are related to pulling it especially in mountains. Thanks!
Thank you! We have a 3/4 ton truck to tow ours. We can tell a difference in towing this trailer compared to our previous lighter 2400bh. You can tell it's a heavier load. The gross weight on the 2910bh is just under 9000 lbs, so 9200 is getting pretty close to the max, which would probably be pushing it. Especially in the mountains. That's just our personal opinion, though. Good luck to you in your ventures!
Hi guys! Wow! That is crazy how much damage that did. I’m just glad you guys are ok and you got home safely. Thanks for sharing your experience.
That will be very helpful to those people who travel with trailers. Wonderful share my sweet friend. Happy Monday. Hugs and blessings to you. Have a beautiful day sweetie!🥰❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻
Hi Michelle, it is crazy how much damage was done, I had no idea that would happen! I am thankful we got home safely though! Happy Monday to you too sweet friend! Hugs🤗💖😘
Ugh! Sorry about it! Glad you guys are safe
Thanks, it was crazy. We are glad to be home safe!
Wow that tire is shredded. sorry for the damage...stay safe 👍🏻
Yeah, it was pretty bad! We made it home safe though so that's all that really matters. Thanks for watching sweet friend💛💜
Glad you guys made it home safe and sound 🙏🥰💜
Thank you Sarah!🤗💛
Hello! This just happened to me today, coming back from Sequoia NP to our home near Joshua Tree NP. Outside temps went from 70 in the morning to 105 driving through the desert. I didn’t even notice this happened or where it happened until I pulled up to a stoplight as I was entering my Yucca Valley and someone flagged to tell me. 2021 imagine 2400 BH. Blew out same tire, and blew out the undercarriage at the door just like yours. I was driving with my two young girls , so glad nothing catastrophic happened. Hopefully insurance will cover. Other than tossing the Westlakes for better tires, any advice or other lessons learned since this happened to you?
Sorry to hear this happened to you, too. I'm glad you are all safe! I think other than changing out the tires, the other thing we have changed is just driving slower. So far so good!
Wow! Beautiful trailer but bummer about the tire. Glad you are all safe!
Thanks, we are happy to have made it safely home!
OMG, I'm so glad you are okay. Sorry for the damage though. Yes, that had to be shocking and so unexpected! Thank you for sharing. We haven't experienced a blowout before. So glad you're home safe.
Thanks Vicki, it was really shocking to see that floor! We are just happy to be safely home! Thanks for watching💕
I'm glad you are all fine. That's scary indeed.
Thank you, Lizzie, it was really scary but I'm glad we came out of it safely!
Wowhit a deer then tire blow out wow glad your all ok, man,sorry about that,man that's crazy I'm shocked, again glad y'all made it home safe cause wow, y'all take care have a good rest of your week and take care
It was a lot between the deer and the tire! Thank you, we feel blessed to be home safe!
Woah- makes for a crazy story! I hope it wasn’t too costly. The most important thing is that y’all are safe!
It was crazy and we are hoping the insurance is going to cover most of it. I agree, the most important thing is we are safe. Thanks for watching!
Wow looks amazing thanks for sharing 😍
Hi Alicia. Glad you guys are safe ... holy cow that did a lot of damage! . It even did damages to the floor? Wow... that’s crazy
Hi Ryan, yeah, it was crazy! The floor was the most shocking to me. Thanks for watching my friend!
Got mine off and was lucky no blow outs. Had one tire get a bubble and I was like he'll no. I keep em aired up 100% and drive 65mph. I upgraded to Goodyear Endurance and wow just feel the side walls off rim and you well be shocked how flimsy and thin those westlake tires are. Feel alot better doing this swap and they are priced the same as westlakes at 140 a tire. Plus extra speed rating to 87mph. I'll be picking up my speed to 70-75 mph and monitoring temps.
Glad you got yours switched before a blow out! We upgraded to the Goodyear Endurance also and will be interested to see how they do on the cross country trip this year. Happy and safe travels!
@@AliciaLynnYT I can actually feel a difference already pulling. Less sway and just tracks really well. Also like that with it at 80psi tire doesn't look low on air like my westlake tires always did.
Why they make trailer tires like this I get it when you get a flat I get it when it get damage but the tires blown up sucks. My travel trailer tired popped as well the same way tread came off the tire.
Nice Video dear Friends Creative
Thanks!
That's a lot of miles guys. Oh no!! So sorry both of those things happen. I would've never thought it could impact the trailer beyond the tire like that. I would've been shocked too. Yes, always listen to your wife. Hahaha Nabol is watching this with me and laughing.
It is a long trip! It was so crazy to see what happened from the tire blowing. Now I'm paranoid about taking it again. Haha Nabol knows to listen to his wife!😄 Thanks for watching guys!💛💜
Wow sis n brother Jesus was covering u all thank u Jesus wow thank God u guys made it home safe
Amen sis!
Stumbled on your bud, just had same think happen. Did you make a claim on insurance or self fix. Debating weather to try myself. 2019 forest river
Sorry to hear it happened to you too. We made a claim. It took a really long time for the shop to get the parts to fix it though...over a year...they said because of Covid. We probably would have done it ourselves if we had known how long it was going to take. Hopefully that isn't still the case!
So glad you guys are ok but your poor camper took a hit. Wow that tire is tore up, hope your insurance takes care of you guys. Love the video❤️
Thanks Cindy, the camper did take a hit but we are hoping the insurance covers it. It is crazy how much damage can come from a blown tire! Thanks as always for watching and Happy Monday to you💛🌞
We are really sorry you had to go through that, the good news is you were both safe. Same happened to us twice and both times different brand trailer tires. Both brands were Chinese made tires as I saw on yours were on the video. Now i run Michelin LT 16” tires (replaced the 15” rims) and i got my sister to do the same on her camper. So far so good
Thank you and I'm sorry you went through that twice with new tires, that's awful! Good call on replacing the Chinese made tires, we are going to do the same after that experience. I'm glad the Michelin tires are treating you well so far, I hope they continue to! Thanks for watching and happy camping!
Hey Joe. Any clearance issues with the 16's? Seems like the only descent 15 tire is the Goodyear Endurance.
@@AliciaLynnYT lets be honest though so people can make the right judgement call
Did you check the tire pressure before you started?
Under inflated tires are always the cause
You are incorrect, under inflated tires are NOT always the cause, there are several causes for a tire blow out. China bomb tires are one of them.
@@AliciaLynnYT the ole “china bomb” theory is old
It was 10 plus years ago
Under inflated is the biggest cause
Others are overloading and excessive speed
This will help more people in the long run and please be honest
Did you check the pressure before you rolled out?
Did we check the tire pressure??😂😂 Of course we did. Please be honest, do you work for the manufacturer of the tires on my trailer?
@@AliciaLynnYT umm no I don’t work for a tire company
You put 2 laughing emojis after your comment
Does that mean you didn’t check the pressure?
@@nbhybrid206 😂🤣🤣😂
i had a 2016 Sandpiper, same problem happened to us as well.
I can't believe the amount of damage a tire causes.
However, we both are safe, that is more important.
It is crazy how much damage it can cause. Im glad you were both safe, that is for sure the most important thing!
Thank God u guys are safe love u sis gn blessings 💓 hugs 💛 prayers
Thank you sis! we feel blessed that we made it safely through both this and the deer hit🙏💛
Also, most people two these trailers way too fast. 60mph is about as fast as you want to go, most people rip through at 70+ mph which generates excessive heat.
Alicia God Bless
Thank you Sandra💛💜
These trailers are too heavy for the tires they're putting on. That slide is very heavy and that trailer is large.
That's a long trip,
It is a long trip! We do it every summer to see family.
Same thing just happend to us on our last trip. Same Imagine camper. Same Westlake tires. Even the same tire right under the door. My fender got completely ripped off and it made a hole in the floor insulation. Fortunately it didn't go through the floor like yours did. This past week I replace all 4 Westlake tires with new 8 ply tires. Hope this doesn't happen again. It is not fun changing a tire on a busy interstate highway and it's not cool to have to repair all this damage.
Sorry to hear that happened to you too, it's a scary thing and a pain to have to get fixed. Hopefully the new tires prevent it happening in the future. We replaced our tires with the E load rating or "10 ply" Goodyear Endurance tires and so far so good. We did our yearly cross country trip this past summer and no problems. Safe travels!
I’m so sorry this happened to you guys. We’ve had campers for 20 years and never had a blow out until last year (with our newest and best condition camper we’ve ever owned) and we ended up with the same scenario on our way up to Maine. It was terrible. The damage wasn’t as bad ( nothing inside the camper) but bad enough. And the traffic was ridiculous. I was so scared for my husband trying to change it at 5pm heading into Maine. This is one of the major things that stresses me out about traveling with a camper! I’m so glad you are all ok though. Very scary thing.
Thank you, it was a crazy thing and definitely scary changing a tire on the freeway! I can't imagine changing a tire at 5pm because it was bad enough at 5am! I'm sorry that something similar happened to you too, but thanks for letting me know about your experience. It sounds like you had a really long run going 20 years without a blow out. Doesn't it just figure that you would have one with your newest and best condition camper! I think I was so shocked in our scenario because we had put so many miles on our last camper in just the cross country trips alone and never had a single problem with tires. Then the first major trip with this new one, we did. I guess it's bound to happen but I'm with you as this being one of the major things that stresses me out about travelling with a camper! We are going to definitely look into more ways to prevent this in the future. Thanks so much for watching and safe travels!
We full time RVers call the tires that manufacturers put on rigs China Bombs. Best advise we ever had was to replace the tires. Of course we didn’t and we also had a blowout. It did almost $2000 worth of damage. Luckily our insurance covered the damage. When we had new tires put on our trailer we were told they did not need to be balanced. Have them balanced anyway or they will wear unevenly. Enjoy your trailer. We certainly have.
Hi Lynda, I have heard of China bombs and I think it is great advice to replace the tires! We will probably do that, especially if want to continue our cross country trips every year. I'm sorry you had a blow out too, but glad your insurance covered it. I'm hoping ours will too because I'm guessing there is several thousand worth of damage with that floor being blown through. Balancing them is great advice too! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, happy travels to you!🌞
Just had the same thing happen Tuesday. The flapping tread that came off the tire ripped a 4 foot long hole above the tire, it ripped the furnace out that sitting right above the floor along with wiring, damaged the cupboards. I suggest paying the extra $$$ for 10 or 12 ply LT (Light Truck tires) even if you have to buy new wheels 16 inch wheels instead of the 15 inch trailer wheels which have limited truck tire availability.
Sorry to hear that Kevin, it sounds like you had some major damage. It is scary how much damage a trailer can sustain just from a blown tire. I hope you are able to get yours fixed without a lot of hassle or expense! It is going to take a couple of months to get ours fixed (something about ordering parts) so no more camping for a while for us. We are going to replace the tires with 10 ply and hope that prevents this from happening again! Thanks for watching!
@@AliciaLynnYT Thanks. I doubt we will be able to use our 5th wheel again this season also. We have to bring it to dealer next Tuesday to be repaired. From photos of the damage we sent to dealer, he believes the repair bill will exceed $9,000. Fortunately, our insurance deductible is $500 but the insurance adjuster still has to assess it also. Fingers crossed that our insurance covers it. Another suggestion I have implemented on the new tires I installed before we take it to the dealer are TPMS sensors in the wheels of the new tires. I didn't want to risk getting another tire failure on my way to dealer. By monitoring tire pressure changes, we have a better chance of pulling over to the side of the road BEFORE a catastrophic tire failure. These particular sensors monitor air pressure AND tire temperature. TPMS are a great insurance strategy in my opinion. www.technorv.com/tst-cap-system-with-2-to-12-sensors/
Wow that's crazy the blown tire caused all the other damage too. You guys were really smart to record all of the damage. I hope insurance covers it for you guys! Haha yes, "Listen to your wife"😂👍🏼
Hi Amy, it was crazy that the tire did as much damage as it did. We are going through insurance right now and crossing our fingers! Now my hubby has to listen to me! 😂😂
Just happened to us in our grand design imagine. Tire was on side below bathroom sink. Did not notice, until we replaced tire, drove thru rain storm, and at next stop, opened the trailer to find water on floor inside. Discovered tire blew and shredded destroyed the floor and water from road came in.
So sorry to hear that! It is crazy how much damage can happen when a tire blows.
Glad everyone is okay. Scary stuff for sure. I immediately replaced the D rated Westlakes on our 2021 GD 2400 with E rated Goodyear Endurance tires. Dealer thought I was crazy but I was hearing about too many instances of these China bombs blowing without warning. Glad I made the change. The E rated 225’s fit fine on our 2400-radius is about 3/4 inch taller than the 205 original size tire. I’ve heard GD is installing the Goodyear tires on new production trailers now.
I think that was a great decision on your part getting those tires! I wish we would have done the same but after that blow out we got the E rated Goodyear Endurance tires too and we have much more peace of mind having them on! Thanks for watching and happy and safe travels!
Good afternoon did you have any issues when changing to an E rated tire? We have a 2021 grand design 2250RK we’re looking to step up the tires, but wanna be cautious of space. We have already upgraded the suspension system to the MoRryde.
@@michillekrantz5154 We had zero issues with the slightly reduced clearance
@@fedguy9182 ,,,, when you have the time, approximately, how much clearance do you have,, we’re only seeing approximately 3 inches of clearance. And the camper is not loaded. It looks like the MoRryde suspension the new equalizer, drop the unit about a half an inch,, we think we’re getting a little too close for comfort. So we are looking at the good year endurance.
@@michillekrantz5154 We have since sold the trailer but we had approximately 3 inches of clearance. You could use the D rated GY Endurance and keep the same sizing as the factory Westlake but have a much better tire
You guys need a tire monitoring system. It seems that temperature changes can be so drastic on tires that you can easily surpass the rated pressure and blow your tire. You can blame the tire, and sure you can spend more money on a higher rating tires but the basics are that you need to keep constantly checking tires, specially if the temperature outside changes drastically.
I have looked into the tire monitoring systems and think they are a good idea as well. Thanks for the suggestion!
I am sorry that this has happened to you. Hope you have made progress on the repairs. This is a classic "China Bombs" tire blow out. I am amazed that there are not more views on this subject. I would recommend getting the new Load Range E Goodyear Endurance trailer tires that are made in USA (Alabama). (Just noticed a comment below that you already put Goodyear tires on the trailer.) A TPMS system is also helpful for temperature and pressure. Coincidentally, Long Long Honeymoon RUclips channel just put out a video on using LT (Michelin) truck tires, however, a 16" wheel would be need too. BTW, I agree on the solid steps are a PIA with getting dirt and water inside your camper. I normally do not go faster than 65 mph while towing. Higher speeds can cause accidents and certainly reduces fuel economy.
Thank you, I am just happy we didn't have a worse outcome. We are still waiting on the parts to get the floor damage fixed but have been able to use the trailer, so that's good. I'm convinced this was a classic "China Bombs" case myself just based on the circumstances. Hopefully the new Goodyear Endurance tires are much better. I love that they are made in the USA, I didn't know it was Alabama! I kept seeing those come up as the most recommended so that's what we went with. I think the TPMS is a good idea too as well as keeping it under 65 mph. I got a lot of flak for complaining about those steps in either this video or another one so I'm happy to hear we are not the only ones that think they are a PIA! Lol Thanks for watching!
same tire, more damage just 2hours ago doing 70mph on the highway.
I'm super angry at the amount of damage, the weird thing is they looked fine when i checked them off(pressure and visual) in morning before i drove off.
I'm sorry to hear it happened to you too. Our tires were fine as far as pressure and visual inspection too and then just a short while later it happened. Definitely not something we expected, especially with brand new tires! I hope you are able to get yours fixed without too much hassle!
This happened to me a few days ago on the way back from Florida. Ripped out electrical cable which controls the slide. Repair place said as much as $6000 to fix because the slide may have to be manually disassembled. Insurance should cover but this happens way too often with the cheap tires the manufacturers put on campers. Need a grass roots movement from RVers to petition Congress to have safety standards. Not the leader type but I'll help with it.
I'm sorry to hear it happened to you too, Robert. It is ridiculous that the manufacturers are able to use these cheap tires, there definitely should be higher safety standards!
You must of put the G159 tire on it
We bought Goodyear tires for it after this happened.
Do you have an update? Did insurance cover any of the damage? What tire did you wind up going with? Thanks for the video.
The insurance did cover the damage thankfully! We went with the E load rating or "10 ply" Goodyear Endurance tires and love them.
Wow, I can't believe the damage that one tire can cause! I have to say this...knock on wood, I've never had a blowout with our travel trailer...yet. I know it's a good possibility, though. One thing I always make sure before I travel is that the pressure is right at 65 psi for my tires. I had a tire guy tell me that if you run these ST tires lower than they are supposed to be, you are treading on water. Another thing I don't do is travel more than 60 mph, even on interstates. I set my cruise at 60 mph and that's where it stays. If I'm on a state road, I'll pull over and let traffic go by before I even think about speeding up. I've had China bombs on my travel trailer's and never had a problem yet. In addition, I carry 2 spare tires with me. I figure if one goes, it might take the other tire out, too. Glad you guys were OK and I feel bad about the damage to the floor. That is incredible!
It was a lot of damage and pretty shocking. That was the first blowout we have had after all the cross country trips we have done and so far we haven't had another one, thankfully. Those are all good tips to follow that you gave! We also replaced the tires with E load rating or "10 ply" Goodyear Endurance tires and love them. Thanks for watching, Gary!
It is shocking that there is dmg to inside floor from tire blowing.
The floor damage was the most shocking for sure! It was crazy. Thanks for watching Jacqueline!
@@AliciaLynnYT in Canada we have tire blow out coverage thru property policy not sure if you have that in the states
@@JacquelineBrown I don't know if we have that here, I don't think so, but thanks for letting me know. We have insurance on the trailer itself so we are hoping that covers it.
@@AliciaLynnYT we just had a blowout and the damage on our trailer was really pretty bad. I pulled off in about 10 seconds and the tire is shredded. It ripped up there plywood floor and the wheel wheel. The tire I had was a Castle Rock steel belted radial. It basically screen like a wire wheel. It tried through the thing metal wheel well and ripped the wiring out of our motorized awning and awning LEDs. Filing a claim with insurance now. No fun. I'll try to put up a video of it. No fun.
ruclips.net/user/shortsyfNkjjMblNY
Here's our damage. From outside the camper out looks fine.
Wow that tire 😳 do u have warranty ? On the tires sis
The tire is probably a loss but we are hoping the insurance pays for the trailer damage.
Omg i fee so bad thumbing up this video lol... this is terrible Alicia! Im so sorry and ontop of everything else already. I hope this doesnt set you guys back and i hope the insurance pays for it!
Haha I hear you on the thumbs up Hayley but I'll take it! We are going through the insurance process now and crossing our fingers it covers it besides the deductible. I am glad to be home after everything! Thanks for watching sweet friend💛💜
They said, "oh the new versions are better and can handle more speed and won't blow up"...so they said they "fixed it" but didn't. That should be covered by your dealer that sold you that RV and Westlake's should be banned for use in North America.
It's crazy to me that they even put these tires on anything when they blow like that. Anything to save a buck I guess. I think if we wanted to jump through a million hoops the tire company itself would have replaced the tire but we are just going to replace them all with Goodyear endurance tires. We still haven't been able to get the damage to the trailer fixed because the dealership is "waiting on parts" It has been quite the experience! I'm just glad it wasn't worse than it was. Thanks for watching, James!
@@AliciaLynnYT NP, glad you guys are all right. I hope the RV industry gets the message before people start being seriously hurt by these cost saving short cuts.
This blowout happened on your last from getting home with approximately 4600 miles as you stated. Now add the mileage from the Grand Design Factory to the dealership where you purchased it , driving it home and any other miles you put on it. Additionally what is the D.O.T. Date of the tires?
Common knowledge is RV tires made in China are basically junk ( a way for RV manufacturers to keep the cost down). Only you know how many miles were one these tires before you started your cross country trip and only you know why you DIDN’T purchase 4 new Goodyear Endurance tires for about $625.00 mounted and balanced BEFORE you started your trip. No sympathy from me.
Peace. Tucson Jack.
So the fact that junk tires are used by RV manufacturers is somehow our fault?? 😂😂😂 Nice!! And no, not everyone has the "common knowledge" that RV tires are China bombs which is why we did this video. We never had a single issue on our cross country trips before this with our other tires and we wanted to warn other people that might not know what can happen. You know, because we do have sympathy and empathy for others, unlike you. So thanks for your wonderful input and your lack of sympathy, Tucson Jack! Have a wonderful day, Jesus loves you!!
Hi, Tucson Jack! There's this saying that goes, "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar," and it tends to work out better for people in life. I advise you to try it and to take a step down off your high horse - no need to pretend we're smarter than everyone else. 😊✌
You OK, Rainman?
