I HAVE HAD TWO BLOWOUTS USING MICHELIN XRV TIRES ON A 2001 BOUNDER MOTORHOME. THE FIRST WAS AT 17000 MILES WHEN THE INSIDE LEFT DUAL TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO A STORAGE COMPARTMENT. THE SECOND BLOWOUT WAS TO MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL COVER. THE FRONT BLOWOUT IS THE MOST WORRYSOME, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND GET THE VEHICLE INTO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND STOPPED. THIS IS MY 4TH MOTORHOME AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION KEEP MY TIRE PRESSURES CHECKED AND INFLATED PRIOR TO ANY USE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE PROBLEM ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES....EVER.*AK

I HAVE MICHELIN XRV 255 80 22.5 TIRES. I HAVE 20K MILES ON THE COACH. I AM METICULOUS ABOUT CHECKING AND MAINTAINING PROPER AIR PRESSURE AND THE COACH IS NOT OVERWEIGHT. *AK A CURB SIDE INSIDE TIRE BLEW AT 17K MILES (A ZIPPER TEAR ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL). I WAS TOLD I DON'T MAINTAIN PRESSURE AND THAT PARTICULAR TIRE ALWAYS IS THE ONE TO BLOW....OR I HIT SOMETHING. AT 19K MILES THE INSIDE TIRE ON THE STREET SIDE BLEW IN GEORGIA DOING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE FENDER WELL (A ZIPPER TEAR ON INSIDE SIDEWALL). AGAIN, I WAS TOLD I AM OVERLOADING THE COACH AND NOT MAINTAINING TIRE PRESSURE. PLUS, THE INSIDE DUAL TIRES DON'T GET ENOUGH AIR AND RUN HOT CAUSING THEM TO WEAR OUT FASTER.
