We live in an age where it is hard to know what to expect when we read an article on the internet. This seems to be a case where it "looks" like info that RV owners might want to know as it involves RV blowouts.
The headline?
"Regulators Investigate Deaths, Injuries Linked to Goodyear Motorhome Tires"
That DID catch my attention!
The info is presented as info from a major legal firm here in the Central Texas area. Does that make it honest, reliable info?
Not when I read closer!
Looks like they are bending the ethics pretty hard just to make folks read what is a simple ad for their services!

Let me point to a few details I've spotted in this bogus ad!
For those running RV without TPMS, there CAN be a good point to pick up if we look at the pictures in the ad. The tire shown is not likely to be from an RV but it also has no temp/pressure monitor installed, so keep that in mind as we go along! It would have been safer for the driver of this tire to have a monitor even if on a car.
Then we get down to the real bogus part of the ad?
"Currently, the investigation covers roughly 40,000 tires manufactured between 1996 and 2003."
YUP! If your tires are more than twenty years old or it takes more than twenty years to get around to investigating the tires, maybe this is not really news worth reading!!!
I'm thinking this puts this "law firm" out of my comfort zone on ethics!
