From owner reports, verbatim
THE INSIDE DUAL CLASS D TIRE OF A 23 FOOT MOTORHOME (APPROXIMATELY 10,000 POUNDS) WENT FLAT DUE TO CRACKING FAILURE OF THE VALVE STEM. INSTEAD OF REMAINING INTACT, SINCE IT WAS SUPPORTED BY THE OTHER DUAL TIRE, THE FLAT TIRE DEVELOPED A 12 INCH SIDEWALL SPLIT WHERE IT MEETS THE TREAD. ABOVE THE MID-RANGE OF THE SPLIT THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE EXPOSING A 3X6 INCH SECTION OF STEEL BELTS. I OBSERVED ON THE INSIDE OF THIS TUBELESS TIRE FLEX FRACTURES, THAT HAD SEVERED THE CORD OF THE SIDEWALL BUT NOT THE OUTER RUBBER, EXTENDING SEVERAL INCHES BEYOND THE ENDS OF THE SPLIT. THE CORD AND RUBBER OF THIS TIRE SEEMS TO BE BRITTLE AND COULD NOT HOLD UP EVEN UNDER THE STRESS OF DUAL TIRE USE. THE TIRE HAS THE DOT UT1L B3C 3705, SO THIS SPLITTING AND TREAD LOSS WAS NOT DUE TO AGE OR EXCESSIVE USE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE TIRES EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE DRIVER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE (SIZE#LT22575R16 PLEASE PROVIDE THE DOT#). *NLM

From owner reports, verbatim
WITH THE COACH EMPTY EXCEPT FOR FULL FUEL, FULL LP AND DRIVER, THE FRONT AXLE WEIGHT IS 4440 LBS. THIS LEAVES ONLY 160 LBS OF WEIGHT BEFORE EXCEEDING THE GAWR ON THE FRONT AXLE. THEREFORE, A MEDIUM WEIGHT PERSON SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COULD EXCEED THIS WEIGHT BEFORE ANY OTHER SUPPLIES ARE LOADED ON THE COACH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO LIVE WITH AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD WITH THESE MINIMAL CARGO CARRYING WEIGHTS. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
