I guess I never gave it much thought but pic of the tire makes me wonder if more blow outs are failures of sidewall or tread.

I was in the Forest River forums when my daughter got hers and the first thing I told her and her husband was make sure the tires are the best you can have!

Uhh yuup! I believe most are sidewall failures but that looks like tread seperation...

Dumb question, Chuck. Did the tire lose pressure or did the tread surface delaminate?

Wow that looks bad. Not the ladies, the tire and subsequent damage.

It's Friday, don't want to confuse anyone.
