Lost tire tread

same here, never know when you are going to need them!!

Just a thought - 

I had the same thing happen ,except my tire blew out taking the fender with it. Listed in another post. Tire had 5k 2011 171 pod .checked tire prior to trip & looked great. Pressure cked while on trip( take pump with for this) call 1-574- 642-3119 ext. #209. This is forest river pod parts. Fender is $50-55 plus shipping and lights are $5 ea. Additional. You have to drill holes for lights. Fender measurements are lenght 30" width 10.25" height 12". If you order from fr have the pods serial number available. I have been checking on the net and have not found an exact match yet . l have been checking galvanized & aluminum fenders. I may go bigger since l put risers on my pod. Only problem is that most fenders are only 9" wide. I have not made a decision yet. No other damage to the pod other than same wiring to new fender.


I was on the highway and was glad not to get smashed by passing traffic. Did not feel like walking back at least quarter mile and cross into the medium to retrieve a possible destroyed
fender. It wasn't worth it to me. Temps were also in the 90's. I always bring 2 spares since
I have another trailer that takes same size tires&rim.spare on back of pod & one in p- up bed.

I have to agree with Doug. It's a small price to pay for safety and peace of mind.

Just had the same thing happen to me. 2009 176T. Had noticed something not right looking in the mirror on the way to Myrtle Beach this weekend. Checked tire pressure. 45 some brought back to 50 max recommended. Took back roads home instead of through Charleston and bridges.(headed to Ridgeland,SC) last 14 miles had to jump on Interstate. tread came of, took fender and gray water valve and connections. Stay inflated so drove to the closest exit and changed at a gas station Lot. Bought it used a year ago. And it had Goodyears marathons on it. Original brand on the spare, Now should I replace both or was it just a tire failure?
