How old were the tires and what brand?  The factory brand on my '17 is "Constancy" which on other forums has questionable reviews.  Which BTW, mine are D rated with 75 MPH speed rating and 65 lbs.

Thanks for sharing.  Since you encountered all that trouble, you should be good to go.  i replaced my tires with carlisle tires.  many folks have gone through that is why i went ahead and replaced almost new tires.  im sure the other victims will have some recovery information for you.

It's a long story, so.... http://www.tripsandtravails.com/2018/05/bledsoe-creek-state-park-travail-level.html
The adventure came on the way home when the left side tire delaminated quite energetically and took the fender with it. There are pix at the blog linked above - if anyone has any suggestions on repair options and/or finding more robust tires, I would certainly appreciate hearing them!


Update: as to tires, I have ordered a pair of Goodyear Endurance to replace what was on there.
