26DEC HAD A TIRE FAILURE ON THE ROAD. AFTER INSPECTION FOUND THE TIRE WAS WORN THROUGH THE CORD ON THE OUTSIDE 1 INCH OF THE TIRE. FURTHER, AFTER LOOKING AT THE OTHER THREE TIRES, FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING ON THE OTHERS. CONTACTED THE RV DEALER AND THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO THE RV MANUFACTURE, FOREST RIVER.
