TIRE BLEWOUT WHILE HANGING ON MY RV AS A SPARE. IT HAD APPROX 100 ROAD MILES ON IT. PURCHASED IN 5/09. DROVE FROM PLACE OF INSTALLATION, (I10 S BOUND ENTRY, EVERGREEN, AL) TO MY HOME (CANTONMENT, FL) AND THEN MOVED IT TO SPARE POSITION (5/09) WHERE IT HAS REMAINED. PURCHASED AS A NEW TIRE AFTER HAVING A BLOWOUT ON THE INTERSTATE. THE STEEL BELTS LOOK ALMOST LIKE A STRAIGHT LINE WAS DRAWN AND THEN CUT. THEY BLEW IN SUCH A PERFECT LINE., NOT RAGGED AS A NORMAL BLOWOUT. I MOVED IT TO SPARE AS THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE RV REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND THEY WERE DIFF BRAND AND LOAD RANGE. *TR
