We have a 2010 Big Sky that came with Carlisle tires. After owning it for just 6 weeks and having "maybe" 2500 miles on it we had multiple tire failure while driving down the freeway. Our drivers side front tire blew out while at 60 mph with such force it tore the fender skirt off and the second tire went 40 miles later. It seems the steel bead cord had seperated from the tire itself allowing the bead to blow over the wheel lip.
I've NEVER seen a tire fail this way in all my years and neither had the tire store but they did tell me to remove the carlisle tires ASAP as did the tow company and hwy patrolman since they said they've seen a high number of failures in this brand. Is this the new norm for Rv's? Place junk tires on an expensive coach?
