Description of the problem	Tire failure of two kenda klever a/p tires on my 2005 cardinal 5th wheel on july 11, and 12, 2008. First failure (left rear) occurred approximately 6 miles east of north little rock, ak on i-40 westbound at 4:30 pm cst. Severe damage to side and underside of trailer. Second failure (left front) occurred approximately 30 miles north of marshall, tx southbound u. S. 59 at about 1:00 pm cst. Severe damage to side and underside with additional damage to sewage disposal pipework. All tire were properly inflated and did not show signs of failure (bulges, cracks or splits) tires were not hot to the touch when checked at rest areas and for fuel stops. These tires were manufactured in china, and were recalled in 2007. I was never notified of the recall, by either kenda (cooper tire) or forest river the manufacturer of the rv. No public notification was made to my knowledge. The tire dealer that inspected the tires after the failures stated these were tread separations caused by belt failures. The "tyre guard" warranty that i purchased at the time of purchase of the rv has stated they don't cover manufacturers defects and have denied the claim. The total damage exceeds $ 4000. 00 to the rv and all the tires (failed and 3 remaining) were replaced with new 235-85-r16 goodyear wrangler hts load rated e tires at a cost of 4 @ 145. 00 each and one @ $247. 00 (first failure) all the old tires (5) are available and in my possession.
