MICHELIN XRV TIRES Complaints

WE EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOW OUT ON OUR 2000 ALLEGRO BUS ON THE BACK RIGHT OUTSIDE TIRE. WE GOT THE TIRE REPAIRED AND DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES AND HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE. MICHELINE DOES NOT ADMIT TO A PROBLEM, BUT THE WEIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE WERE CORRECT FOR THE TIRES. THE TIRES AND MOTOR HOME HAVE ABOUT 35,000 MILES. *AK

ON THE DATE BELOW, I HAD THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLOW OUT ON MY 1999 NEWMAR DUTCH STAR WITH MICHELIN 255 80R 22.5 TIRES. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS WELL MAINTAINED, THE DAY WAS FAIRLY WARM IN MONTANA, AND I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY GOING UP A STEEP HILL WHEN THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED. I READ ON AN RV FORUM THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON.*AK

MICHELIN TIRES 235/80R-XRV TIRES...THREE BLOWOUTS, BLOW AWAY A SIDE PANEL OF MOTORHOME. NO RESPONSE FROM ANY MANUFACTURER MONACO AND/OR MICHELIN. ONLY CHECK YOUR PRESSURES. WELL STOPPING AT EACH AND EVERY REST AREA TO CHECK PRESSURES AND STILL EXPERIENCING BLOWOUTS. IN ONE TRIP. WANT TO SELL MOTORHOME AFRAID TO DRIVE DOWN TO GAS STATION TO FUEL UP TO TAKE TO DEALER TO SELL. NEED TO REPLACE ALL TIRES AND COST $2,000.00. HAVE OWNED MOTORHOMES FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND FIRST TIME HAVE EVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. I CAN SEE HOW THE INDUSTRY REACTS WHEN, JUST LUCKY AND ONLY LUCK THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED, INCLUDING THE BUSY TRAFFIC AROUND US AS WE WERE ON I-75 WHEN ALL OF THESE OCCURRED.*AK
