ON 6/17/11 I WAS DRIVING THE RV I JUST PURCHASED ON 6/1/11 WITH MY 2 SONS AND HEARD ONE OF MY BACK TIRES BLOW OUT. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THE PASSENGER INSIDE REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OFF. DROVE TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY PUT THE SPARE ON. ON 7/28/11 MY WIFE AND I AND ANOTHER COUPLE WERE ON OUR WAY TO FLORIDA IN THE RV. WE DROVE 200 MILES WHEN ONE OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT. WHEN WE FOUND A GAS STATION TO PULL OVER AT WE SAW THAT IT WAS THE SPARE TIRE WE HAD REPLACED FROM THE FIRST BLOWOUT. THE GARAGE ONLY HAD 1 USED TIRE THAT THEY GAVE US TO GET US TO A TIRE DEALER. AT OUR NEXT STOP FOR GAS WE CHECKED THE TIRES AND NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR INSIDE TIRE WAS HOT AND HUMPED IN THE MIDDLE. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WE COULD SMELL RUBBER AND THEN STARTED HEARING PIECES OF THE TIRE COMING OFF. WE FOUND A TIRE DEALERSHIP IN GEORGIA AND PURCHASED 3 NEW FIRESTONE TIRES WHICH WAS WHAT WE HAD ON THE FRONT OF THE RV. THE 4 TIRES ON THE BACK AND THE SPARE WERE ALL COOPER TIRES AND WERE BOUGHT IN 2009. THE RV ONLY HAD A TOTAL OF 24,000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT AND SINCE THE COOPER TIRES WERE JUST BOUGHT IN 2009 THEY COULDN'T HAVE HAD MANY MILES ON THEM AND I DON'T THINK THE SPARE HAD EVER BEEN ON THE ROAD UNTIL WE PUT IT ON. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRES IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. *TR
