TIRES - TREAD/BELT
09/30/2007579002
 On august 20th 2007 while traveling at 60 mph in a 27 foot motorhome, the right front tire exploded. it was a general ameri 550 ms 235/85/r16. this tire was 90 % new with no weather checks, bulges or any damage. it was inflated to 70lbs. i have never had this happen before and i run a school bus fleet and drive a lot. i had it replaced with a general ameri trac. then, on sept 30, 2007 at about 8:00 p.m. on i-75 by gaylord, mi. at about 65 mph. the right rear inside dual blew apart giving several people some frightful moments. in both cases, the tread separated from the belts and the tire blew apart. i am now concerned about the remaining tires. although they look to be in excellent shape, so did the ones that blew apart. i contacted general tire to see if there was a problem with the tires and they (jose) will only give me the run around and not say if something is wrong or not. i am very concerned with the other tires and i am hesitant to use the cruise control. do i have any recourse or can anyone tell me if there is a known problem with these tires, (two blow-outs within about 300 miles of each other. and i always check them when we stop) *jb
