TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 FORD WINDSOR. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED, RESULTING IN A BLOW OUT OF THE OUTER TIRE. THE TIRES ARE FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL R4S, LT225/75R16. THE SPARE TIRE WAS PLACED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRES WERE ALSO SHOWING WEAR ON THE TREAD. THERE WAS 6,000 MILES OF WEAR ON THE TIRES. THE CRACKS IN THE TIRES WERE PRESENT ON THE INSIDE, NOT ON THE OUTSIDE FACING THE SUN. ALL FOUR REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED DUE TO THE WEAR PATTERN.

1999, TIOGA 26F, FLEETWOOD, CLASS C, MOTOR HOME, APPROX 45000 MILES, PURCHASED NEW. THE PORTION OF THE MOTORHOME OVER THE FORD CAB WAS ATTACHED USING ABOUT 24 #10 SELF TAPPING SHEET METAL SCREWS, DRIVEN UPWARDS, THROUGH HOLES IN THE FORD SHEET METAL, THROUGH A SPONGE RUBBER GASKET, AND INTO THE PLYWOOD FLOOR OF THE "CAB-OVER" PORTION OF THE MOTORHOME. MANY OF THOSE SCREWS FELL COMPLETELY OUT AND THE REMAINDER HAD ALL BACKED OUT AT LEAST 1/4 INCH AND WERE LESS THAN FINGER TIGHT. AS A MINIMUM, RAIN WATER OR WASH WATER COULD EASILY ENTER THE CAB AREA. I AM CONCERNED THAT A STRONG WIND, OR THE BLAST OF AIR CAUSED BY PASSING HEAVY TRUCKS, ETC, COULD TEAR THE OVERHANG OF THE COACH OFF IN TRAFF
