general problems of the 2004 Ford E-450

Bfg commercial t/a tire (215/85 r16) blew out and had total tread separation causing some vehicle damage. Tire was under 5 years old per dot date code, under 15k miles, had good tread, no indication of damage. No known impact with any road debris, blow out occurred while traveling under 55 mph. Very little warning, just slight feeling of misbalance before tire exploded. Tires had been checked for proper inflation 2-3 days before. Tires were visually inspected during travel - no signs of over/under inflation.

I have had three tire tread separations for tires I purchased in 2006 for my RV. The tires are cooper srm ii, lt225/75r16. The previous two were rear tires that were replaced. The most recent one happened on a front tire while traveling at highway speeds.
