TWO TIRES ON OUR 5TH WHEEL RV LOST THEIR AIR. WE THOUGHT WE'D RUN OVER SOMETHING, BUT UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIMS HAD FAILED. A SPLIT IN ONE AND A HOLE IN THE OTHER. WE HAD ALL RIMS REPLACED AS WE WERE CONCERNED THAT IF 50% FAILED AT THE SAME TIME THE OTHERS MAY FAIL ALSO. WE HAVE KEPT ALL 5 OF THE ORIGINAL RIMS THAT CAME ON THIS TRAILER, IN CASE YOU NEED TO EXAMINE ANY/ALL OF THEM. APPROXIMATELY 5124 MILES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN ON THESE TIRES. NO DAMAGE OCCURRED FROM IMPACT OR OTHER CAUSES. THE EDGE OF THE RIMS APPEAR TO BE PERFECTLY ROUND WITH NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. *TR
