TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FOREST RIVER TRACER PRIME TIME (NA) EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR RADIAL TIRES, SIZE: ST205/75R14 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRAILER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO CAME OUT AND CHANGED THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE ON THE TRAILER. ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2019, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODED. LATER THAT DAY, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE ALSO EXPLORED. THE TRAILER WAS TAKEN TO GOODYEAR AUTO SERVICE (LOCATED AT 50 N DOBSON RD, MESA, AZ 85201, (480) 962-4205) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE, WEATHERPROOFING, AND STYROFOAM INSTALLATION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.

MY MOTOR COACH IS A 2014 ENTEGRA COACH BUILT ON A SPARTAN K2 CHASSIS. SPARTAN INSTALLED NEW FRONT TIRES (GOODYEAR G670 295/80/22.5) ON MY COACH ON 4/22/2016. MY COACH WAS WEIGHED AT ALL TIRES AND THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE WAS OBTAINED FROM THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS CHART, WHICH IS THE PRESSURES THAT I MAINTAINED. APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES LATER ON 8/27/2019 WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW FOR NOREASON. WE HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND CONTINUED ON OUR WAY. ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER OUR LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW, AGAIN FOR NO REASON. BOTH TIMES WE HAD A TIRE TECH COME OUT AND REPLACE THE BLOWN TIRE. THEY COULD FIND NO OBVIOUS REASON FOR THE FAILURES. AFTER THE FIRST BLOW OUT, I CHECKED THE OTHER TIRES FOR DAMAGE AND FOUND NONE. I ALSO ASKED THE TECH TO CHECK THE OTHER TIRE. HE TOLD ME AFTER HIS INSPECTION AND CHECKING PRESSURE, THAT THE 2ND GOODYEAR TIRE WAS SAFE AND GOOD TO GO. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS IN THE ROAD EITHER TIME. I HAVE A TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM INSTALLED ON ALL MY TIRES. IT HAS ALARMS FOR PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE ISSUES. I HAD BEEN MONITORING THE TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES OF ALL MY TIRES DURING THE DAY AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ABNORMAL. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY ALARMS PRIOR TO EITHER BLOW OUT, SO I AM CONFIDENT THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED AND DID NOT HAVE SUFFER ANY TYPE OF AIR LOSS. BOTH TIMES IT WAS A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL FAILURE. BOTH BLOW OUTS CAUSED DAMAGE TO BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT END OF THE COACH. I HAVE SINCE READ OF NUMEROUS OTHER COACHES LIKE MINE WITH THE SAME GOODYEAR TIRES THAT HAD FAILURES RESULTING IN DAMAGE AND EVEN CRASHES. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS TO SUFFER A STEER TIRE BLOW OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF MINE WERE POOR QUALITY TIRES THAT WERE NOT DESIGNED WELL ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE SIZE AND WEIGHTS OF MY MOTOR COACH. EVEN THOUGH MY WEIGHT WAS WITHIN THE SPECIFICATIONS OF GOODYEAR AND THE TIRES WERE ROUTINELY MAINTAINED, THEY STILL SUFFERED ASUDDEN CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL FAILURE FOR NO REASON.
