I have a 1999 jamboree rv(class c). I have had several incidents with flat tires on the inside rear tire. These flats have resulted in severe damage to the coach. In the past 18 months we have had five flat tires on the inside rear. I have installed tire inflators that make checking the pressure and maintaining the pressure easier (thinking this was the problem). I check this prior to every use. We use the coach often and usually stay within a 80 mile radius. I have gone on three trips when the milage has exceeded 250 miles one way. It is on these trips that i have the problems. A few weeks ago on a trip to pheniox az. I had three flats, one on the way and two on the way back. The tire blows and the tread comes off. The whipping of the tread and the violent shaking has destroyed our rv. I contacted the sales person at the dealership who told me that the jamboree has a weight and balance and/or suspension problem. The result of this defect is the flat tires. He suggested i contact jamboree who tells me that they are not aware of any problem with this model and the dealer says it's not there responsibility.

My itasca spirit has had three(3) blow-outs in the same location, the back inside passenger tire. One causing major damage.finally, a company found that the bracket holding the air bag compressor only had one bolt holding it up instead of four. As a result the hanging bracket was scraping the tire. In 2010 there as a lot of damage to the floor in the bedroom and shower stall that had to be replaced plus the whole left outer side of the vehicle. A lot ofout of pocket money was spent on tires and repairs. A picture of the last blow out is available.

I sent the damaged tire, which cost $68 to nashville, tn. At their requesti received a letter stating that the claim had been denied because the damage was caused by either a " pothole, object, curb, or something else," none of which occurred.i called norma davis and was told that they would not pay the $68 for shipping to them, but if i wanted the tire back, i would have to pay the shipping costs.

While on vacation june 17,2005 in oregon we had about an 18 in. Piece of the tread separate from the tire resulting in a blowout on the right inside duel.we were driving our 2000 23 j chateau motorhome towing a jeep liberty.followed by our friends in another rig we were traveling north on highway 97 about a mile north of gilcrist oregon. The temp.was about 54 degrees and overcast.we were able to safely get off the two lane highway on to the shoulder.after un-hooking our tow vehicle with the help of an highway patrolman who stopped traffic we turned around and limped back to a gilchrist sevice station and had our spare installed. After returning home in vancouver wa. I took the damaged tire to a local firestone tire and sevice center.the person i delt with told me i would have to leave the tire so someone else could look at the tire to determin what would be done. After 4 days of waiting i was told that nothing would be done because they felt that it was caused by the tire being under inflated and it got hot.(b s) i then took the tire to an another (not firestone) tire dealer and he told me that that was possible but he didn't think that was the case. These tires have only 13,000 miles on them . The tires are the firestone steeltex lt 225/75r-16 m/t load range e . I will now have to buy all 7 new tires at a cost of about $ 1,150.00 because i wouldn't feel safe driving on these tires as they are starting to crack on the side walls.

Prepared for 10 day vacation from texas to south dakota via oklahoma, kansas, nebraska, returning via wyoming, colorado, new mexico. All tire verified inflated at 75 psi (within 10% of max upon departure. Tire had 80% tread left according to midrometer measurement when tires replaced after multiple blowouts. Tires were on 2000 coachman catalina class c 23 ft motorhome. First tire blew out causing severe damage to underside, storage compartments, and kitch cabinets on right side of motor home. Put on spare and with 15 miles a second tire blew out on inside left. This tire took out lp gas line to refigerator and hot water heater as well as severe damage to underside, storage compartments, and bathroom floor/cabinets. Within the next 100 miles, a 3rd tire started to separate but i was able to pull over before complete blowout. Unknown at the time was the rear brake lines had been compromised. The rear brakes completely failed by the time we reached denver, co. Very traumatizing experience and because of our remote location, we were unable to match replacement tires by size or brand. Through the grace of god we made it home safely and the rv is now at a dealership awaiting insurance estimate and repairs. Unfortunately, the insurance company wants the old tires so they can go after firestone for reimbursement but i did not want to carry them 2000 miles back to texas. Do i have any recourse through firestone to get new matching tires on the ground as well as the spare (7 tires total)?

Ton he first tire the entire belt came off, and hit the underside of the vehicle. On the second tire the steel wires came through the tread , but the belt did not come off.

Was sent off to firestone for an adjustment or replacement, and firestone refused to adjust or replace the tire because they said that coachman had put too much weight on the motor home, and that was the reason for the tire problem. They refused to give caller this reasonin writing. He had not talked to coachman. When the motor home had20,000 miles on it, consumer stated it started to shimmy badly.
