| Description of the problem | Purchased new 5th wheel trailer in december of 2017 with goodyear marathon st235/80r16, load range e tires installed. While driving at 55 mph on a somewhat curvy and hilly state highway with 4800 miles on rv, the left rear tire tread came completely off the tire damaging the rv in the process. I pulled to shoulder and failed tire had a significant leak, but did not blow out so i replaced it with the spare. I have tpms installed on all 4 wheels which reports tire pressure and temperature. All 4 tires were nominal just prior to failure. All tires have been maintained at the required cold pressure of 80 psi prior to every trip. The rv is stored indoors without any sun exposure. |
