Tires checked for tire pressure before going on road. This was a 2 lane road heavily traveled. Going downhill at safe speed for weather conditions. We were going into a curve and a big explosion of tire and side of our rv head into the woods. Luck would have it there was a turn out just 75 feet from us. This first one took the fender off. The second blow out took place on 4 lane hwy that is heavily traveled. This time our family member behind see the tire blow and we pull over... Unfortunately we are out of spares. We replace all tires with a different brand from a local brand who helped get us out of danger. Terrible tires and goodyear blames us. |
