Carlisle tire, st215/75r14 mounted as a factory installed spare on a tennessee brand boat trailer. tire has never been used, always as a spare. on 8/14/10, observed a blister had developed at the tire shoulder (where tread meets sidewall). on 8/21/10, a belt separated from the tire resulting in the tread and belt peeling from the the tire (tread separation). there is a 6 wedge of belt sticking straight out of the tire where the tread split, and approx. 12 of tread has detached from the tire. i have never witnessed a tread separation failure like this on a tire that was a dedicated spare and has never been used. for reference: trailer is in a garage nov-mar. it is outdoors and exposed to elements apr-oct. tire pressure checked monthly, and always before trips. |
