   WE NOTICED THESE TIRES WERE FAILING JUST BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY BLEW APART. THE FIRST ONE I NOTICED IN WACO TX, JUST AFTER PARKING IN AN RV PARK. A PIECE OF RUBBER THE SIZE OF YOUR HAND WAS MISSING ? BUT THE TIRE WAS STILL HOLDING AIR. I REPLACED THAT TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND TOOK THE TIRE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER (WINGFOOT) IN WACO WHO REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE EXCEPT FOR MOUNTING AND BALANCING. LATER I WENT TO THE DEALER IN SELMA, TX WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAMPER (IN JAN 2007) FOR SOME INTERIOR WARRANTY WORK. THE SERVICE WRITER GLANCED AT MY TIRES AS HE WALKED BY AND SAID: ?YOU HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THOSE TIRES, THE TREAD IS SEPARATING. YOU NEED TO GO TO A GOODYEAR DEALER AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE HERE AND GET AT LEAST 2 OF THOSE TIRES REPLACED AND CHECK THE OTHERS?. I WENT TO A GOODYEAR DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO BUT THE MANAGER WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITUATION ? HE INSISTED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES AFTER LOOKING AT AND FEELING THEM AND SUGGESTED I TALK TO SOMEONE AT A GOODYEAR COMPANY STORE. WE RETURNED TO OUR CAMPSITE IN FLATONIA, TX AND THE NEXT MORNING WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER (WHO DIDN'T HANDLE GOODYEAR) AND ASKED HIM TO INSPECT THE TIRES. HE JACKED UP ONE AXLE AT A TIME AND SPUN THE TIRES. ALL 3 TIRES WERE OUT OF ROUND, 2 VERY BADLY AND ONE SOMEWHAT. HE PUT THE SPARE (THE NEW GOODYEAR FROM WACO) ON THE GROUND REPLACING THE WORST TIRE AND SAID I NEEDED TO GO TO THE GOODYEAR DEALER IN LA GRANGE, TX AND GET ALL 3 REPLACED AS ALL WERE SEPARATING AND VERY DANGEROUS. THAT DEALER IN LA GRANGE AGREED THEY WERE SEPARATING AND REPLACED ALL 3 ON A PRORATED BASIS. ONE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES (MOUNTED AS A SPARE WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAMPER) IS NOW ON THE GROUND; I?LL WATCH IT VERY CLOSELY FOR SIGNS OF SEPARATION. ALL 5 TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE UNIT WERE 225/75 R15 LOAD RANGE D WITH DOT CODES: OHHH MLHR 3206 OR 3306. *JB
