| Description of the problem | Traveling on florida turnpike, 9:00 a. M., port saint lucie area. A loud bang and the blown tire. Passenger side front tire. We made it safely to the breakdown lane where we awaited fhp for assistance. After spare tire was put on we took the next exit and bought a new spare before continuing our trip to key west. After a two week stay we started our return home. Once again on florida turnpike in miami, 11:00 a. M., 02/25 we blew another tire, passenger side, rear tire. Result of that failed tire caused severe damage to rv. Returned home and had four new tires installed. Callagy tire (palm bay fl) technician noted that the two tires on drivers side were deteriorated and failure was imminent. Please note: rv is stored under a tent on boards. Tire pressure was checked before our trip and one again when we picked up the new spare at bayshore tire service. Both blowouts were on fl turnpike, 65 mph, dry roads. |
