I was driving through Monroe Louisiana and a semi was passing me on the left and I heard a loud bang.  so did the semi driver.  he quickly slowed down and pulled behind me.  but he didn't stop.  so I thought I must be me so I pulled over at a small truck stop in a mile or two.  checked all the tires and saw nothing wrong. 

so...drove 365 miles to bella terra in foley Alabama.  the last while I noticed a bumpiness, but I attributed it to the bump back road we were on. 

got set up at the rv park and Richard asked me if I knew that my drivers side tag tire had something horribly wrong with it. 

looked at it and there were large bumps in waves all the way around the tire.  like 1/2 to 1" high. 

the belt had separated and we were blessed and looked after or we would have had a blow out and destroyed everything. 

used Michelin advantage and coachnet and got a new tire right there in the park. 

tire did not lose air so there would have been no indication until it blew...
