1993 Fleetwood ProwlerWheels & tires

I have had 3 of your tires come apart on me the tread comes off just like it was a recap/ retred tire. The tires are on my 5th wheel travel trailer, so far they have not caused an accident, only inconvenience for me on the side of the highway. I use my trailer on a daily basis, because I practically live out of it I work in the oil field and stay from job site to job site in it. Everybody that I work with has their own trailer and if I do not here a response from you I will be telling every hand that I come across about your worthless tires, and I promise you, you don't want that. *Jb
