Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: First time traveling 55-65mph for approximately 100 miles on interstate, motorhome (ford e450 dual rear axel) started to shake and within a few seconds we heard a loud bang. pulled over and saw that the right outside rear tire had all of the tread come off. the second time (approximately 10 days later) after driving 60-65mph about 100 to 150 miles of interstate the vehicle started shaking and we immediately pulled over. we found this time that the left inside rear tire had approximately 1/4 of the tread off the tire. we had both tires inspected seperately by tire repair persons and both times each had indicated that the failure was not due to the tire hitting or scraping anything.. *ak (dot number: vd tiresize: lt22575r16)
