The tires in that story are the Goodyear G159 line. Those are no longer produced. I assume (hope) Goodyear learned their lesson, although I wouldn't hold my breath. This is just like the Firestone-Ford tire failures of the 90's.

The current line of Goodyear RV tires, the G670 do not have any problem reports or complaints that I've read about here or on any of the other RV forums. https://www.goodyearrvtires.com/pdfs/goodyear_rv_brochure.pdf

Mike you need to look a little further, both Steve Huber and I have had G670's explode, I kept our coach from hitting anything Steve wasn't as lucky. I also had a Goodyear tag axle G670 explode just down the road from out house here in Wickenburg. These tire were only 5 years old, no sign of sidewall damage and inflated properly. I will not run a GY tire on anything I own. Had the same problems with their tires with my trucks.
