| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: As i was traveling south on i270 around columbus, ohio at approximately 65 mph, the right front tire exploded. luckily i was able to safely maneuver the rv to the shoulder of the road. the tire had a little over 5,000 miles on it. the tire involved is a michelin x 225/70r 19.5 xrv. when the tire exploded, it took out a shield protecting the propane tank. i think the shield also took out two wires connected to the propane take since the wires were ripped from where they belonged. a little more force and the propane tank could have been hit and who knows what would have happened. the wheel as well as the wheel cover were destroyed as well. i have read on the internet that this is not the first incident involving michelin rv tires. this is the reason for writing this complaint. also, i have three other michelin tires on the rv which i purchased at the same time as the one that exploded and quite frankly, i don't feel safe driving it with those tires on there. *tr |
