Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Tread came off tire, tore out lp gas line to refrigerator. we were lucky that we did not have a fire or worse. we were leaving new bern, nc at the time; we returned to new bern to a firestone dealer and had the tire replaced. we were told that firestone would make no adjustment for the tire. our motorhome is in storage about 25 miles away, therefore, at this time we do not have the complete tire information, however the tread came off just as we have today seen pictures on tv of tires from accidents caused by the tires. we felt compeled to report this incident to you at this time and will follow up with complete information when we have the opportunity to go retreive the information from the rv. we will contact shasta and report this to them also. we are now concerned that the replacement tire and the remaining 5 plus spare are a hazard to us and others on the road. we feel it is necessary to replace all tires on the motorhome now. *ak( dot number: )
