| We have incurred two tire blowouts on our 40 ft. fifth wheel rv with kenda tires. the tires had less than 10,000 miles on them, kenda refused all liability because they were over two years old. we were original owners and were aware of the many complaints about these tires that we have heard from personal stories form fellow rivers and from reading rv forums. we always checked pressure before starting any trip. the tires are made in china and should not be allowed on any vehicle traveling in the usa. they are a horrible tragedy waiting to happen. if kenda will only guarantee these tires for two years they obviously are aware of quality issues. the government is remiss for allowing the safety of many people to be dependent on vehicles riding on defective, cheap, chinese tires. *tr | |||
