I have a 1999 e450 RV with hankook tires belt are separating manufacturer date 5/13.
Thread separated and tore up mud flap. Tire still had air. (dot number: vd1l1xd358 tiresize: lt225/75r1).
In 1999 I purchasd a new gulfstream '30 foot motor home, it was built on a Ford e450 chassis. The unit was shipped with "e" range tires. I had a seven tire rotation at 5000 miles, at which time the spare was put into use. In a check of tire pressures before my last trip I found a "d" range tire(the orignal spare?). I have driven 25000 miles on this tire at 20psi over max rated pressure. I feel very lucky that this tire did not blow at 65 mph. Is this a standared practice to ship cutaways with lower range(cheaper) tires?.
