Incident: March 10, 2008 · Filed: August 28, 2008

WE WHERE HEADING HOME AFTER SPENDING 2 MONTHS IN WINTERHAVEN, CA. I WAS DRIVING TOWARD QUARTZSITE, AZ. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 37 MILES FROM THERE WHEN I NOTICED SOMETHING AT THE CURB SIDE REAR CORNER. I WAS DRIVING AT 62 MILES PER HOUR AND SLOWED DOWN AND FOUND A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OFF. WHEN I WENT BACK TO CHECK WHAT WAS THERE I FOUND THE REAR TIRE AND THE BACK AXLE HAD COMPLETELY LOST ITS TREAD AND DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. I THEN HAD ROAD SERVICE COME OUT AND CHANGE THE TIRE. I WENT TO QUARTZSITE TO AMERICAN TIRE STORE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TIRE. I HAD THE TIRE PERSON CHECK THE TIRE AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A BAD TIRE. I THEN CHECKED THE OTHER TIRES THAT WERE STILL ON THE GROUND AND FOUND THAT TWO OF THESE HAD LARGE KNOTS INDICATING SEPARATION. THE TIRES HAD THE CORRECT PRESSURE AND HAD LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON THEM. I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND. AS THE TIRE PERSON WAS DISMOUNTING EACH TIRE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES THAT WERE ON THE GROUND HAD THE VALVE STEMS INCORRECTLY MOUNTED. *TR
