I HAVE HAD TWO BLOWOUTS USING MICHELIN XRV TIRES ON A 2001 BOUNDER MOTORHOME. THE FIRST WAS AT 17000 MILES WHEN THE INSIDE LEFT DUAL TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO A STORAGE COMPARTMENT. THE SECOND BLOWOUT WAS TO MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL COVER. THE FRONT BLOWOUT IS THE MOST WORRYSOME, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND GET THE VEHICLE INTO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND STOPPED. THIS IS MY 4TH MOTORHOME AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION KEEP MY TIRE PRESSURES CHECKED AND INFLATED PRIOR TO ANY USE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE PROBLEM ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES....EVER.*AK
