Was starting out on my 940 mile road trip and 3 hrs into the trip both rear tires lost there tread. I have TPMS and neither tire was out of temp range nor psi range. This is on a dual axle 5th wheel RV. Took 5 hrs for roadside service to respond with acceptable tires. On day two with only 1.5 hrs left, the front two tires did the same thing. All 4 tires have date code of 2320. All 4 tires did lost thread in the same location. All four tires held pressure which allowed me to safely pull off the side of the road both times.
