Tire questions

[lwasouth]

We have a Itasca Meridian 40U. In October returning from Michigan to Florida on I 65 in Alabama We blrw a inside dual tire. Our Good Sam road side assistance, told us that if 1 dual blows, we must replace both tires and make sure to keep both tires for a claim.I hauled all 250 lbs of 295/75R/22.5 tires home. They have been in my garage for over a month. Both tires are only 3 years old and have less than 30,000 miles on them.
One is of course, blown. the other TOYO is like new. Can anyone suggest what I should do with them

Carry the TOYO as an 'emergency spare' when no others are available?

I would get a second opinion. I would take the blown tire to a Toyo dealer and ask about warrenty and opinion on running the tire.

Did you have a low air pressure issue and not know it. Just wondering? Would think your installing dealer could handle the issue

The concern is that the other tire of the pair was drastically overloaded when the other failed. Maybe not for long, but conceivably was overstressed. Also, the new, unworn, tire may be notably larger in diameter than the other one which has its tread worn down to some degree. Tire experts say that there should be less than 0.5" difference in the diamters of a dual-pair.Last, but not least, the roadside service wanted to sell you two tires instead of one, probably at list price (or even higher).


Have a Toyo dealer inspect the tire inside and out for damage and ask him to get the Toyo reps opinion on using it after the incident. I'm guessing it will be ok.
