My first Blowmax blowout: photo

[tireman9]

Photo says it all. I have Road Warrior 415, less than 2 years old. Took time checking over camper prior to 3 hour trip to park. 80 psi. Explosion of the tire took off the fender, but, thankfully, slideout mechanism is okay. Will be getting six new tires when I return home. Reading this forum with great interest. Any chance of LT tires but keeping the aluminum 6" tires and outside diameter same?

Sorry to hear of your problem. Did you capture the full DOT serial and file a complaint with NHTSA?

Michelín & Bridgestone are making wheel/tire combos that require no air. The "spokes" function as the compliant member in both cases. The Michelín version is called the Tweel and currently only made for skid loaders. I'd pay for that level of durability!

Tires used to only last 20,000 miles too. But 50 for trucks and 80 for cars are not unheard of today.
