This came from the fowlling web site. http://www.gmcws.org/techcenter/93-05tc05.html DANGEROUS TIRES At the Mount Hood Roundup, Wes Caughlan warned us to get rid of the Michelin XCA load range-D tires. Since then I have seen several coaches still running the tires. Owners still running these tires risk expensive damage to their coaches. When the fires blow out they damage the lower fiberglass body parts. Even though the fires are warranted for four years, they may fail much sooner than that. Eugene Slanter had two of these tires blow out through the tread while the fires were mounted on his spare fire carrier!. The tires had less than 1500 miles and were less than one-year old. The age of the tires can be determined by checking the three-digit code on the sidewall. The first two numbers indicate the week the fires were manufactured, and the third indicates the year (for example 345 would be week 34 in 1985). Scarey!!!!.
