We are sitting on the side of the highway right now waiting for new tires. Our right rear inner tire blew out and then damaged the outer tire. I heard a loud terrible noise coming from the rear going about 70 mph. It actually took a second to register. Then I managed to safely pull onto the shoulder. When I got out to check the outer tire still had air but rapidly deflated in about 20 more seconds.
I called our fancy ?executive ? plan that we purchased with the RV new. They said ?I?m very sorry your plan was cancelled in 2015. I can see it was purchased and expires in 2021? And then they were no further help. The dealer who sold us the plan and the RV will be hearing from us tomorrow.
So then I called Progressive Insurance, who also provides roadside assistance. After about two hours they found a service to bring us tires. So here we now sit. I believe we only have to pay the cost of the tires and the insurance will cover the rest.
This is a 2014 Itasca (Winnebago) Impulse. So tires are probably manufactured in 2013. It is very very hot in PA. I can only assume the tire got very overheated and blew.
Time for a tpms system.
