Montana Owners Club - Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Forum - View Single Post - Tire ordeal and damage repair almost done

My BFG Commercial T/A saga was similar, albeit I was aware of the recall, so my newest BFG was replaced with a Michelin LTX under the recall. Just a few months later I had my two older 0909 BFG tires fail within a month of each other. First one had a sidewall delamination, but held air /remained inflated until after I got to a Tire Shop. Second one blew up/tread delamination. I filed a claim with BFG as my damage was cosmetic or repairable myself, so I didn't want to claim on my insurance (repair estimate less than $1K)as I claimed a roof repair a few years ago. BFG refused my claim, said tire lost air. Hmmm, one hour out of the campground where I had checked all tire pressures, and it was the rear drivers side trailer tire behind my dually....
I regret all the old advice about BFG Commercial T/A tires being decent tires was wrong and "mislead" me.
