Description of the problem	The unit has castle-rock 225/75/15 original tires installed on unit. August of 2019 was returning home from a trip in panama city beach fla, had a blowout in dothan ala. Did not think of a defective tire at the time and just considered it bad luck. I replace the blown tire with the new spare that came with the unit and had never touched the ground. Same make and model and drove approximately 100 miles home. Had the original spare mounted on the alloy wheel to match all other wheels and new spare mounted on the spare wheel. Did not use again until august 4,2020. Left for trip and drove approximately on hwy 231 in seale ala just another 100 miles and had another blow that severely damaged the rv skirting, under carriage,electrical wiring and wheel wells on both sides of the rv. I started research and found the castle rock tires are the root cause of the problem. I had all tires replace before heading back home and the tire dealer informed me all original tire on the rv were all separating and i would not have made it home without another blow out .
