The tires had 7515 miles on them when the front driver? S side fifth wheel tire thread separated and the tire went flat. I put on the spare and we continued on to westcliff colorado where i purchased a new replacement tire. We continued about 10 miles on i25 when the rear driver? S side tire thread separated and blew out. This was within an hour of the first tire failure. We were traveling at 60 mph and were able to pull onto the shoulder of the road and call forest river curbside service assistance. They sent jm tire out to replace the blown out tire with the spare. We limped into trinidad colorado to jm tire where, after inspection, the remaining two passenger side tires were also found to be defective; one having a bulge in it, and one with additional evidence of thread separation. I was advised that they could fail at any time. The blown out driver? S side rear tire tore up the driver? S side slide hydraulics of the fifth wheel causing the slide to open out into i25 and the lower outer panel of the slide to be destroyed. All four goodyear marathon tires were defective with thread separations.
