Mission Load Max Radial crowned like a bias ply.

Bought three old trailer tires on rims to use on an OFFROAD firewood trailer. All kept in a dark building, no dry rot or cracking.

I am aware these tires are beyond their useful life for road use.

It's hard to find decent 15" tires to fit on implement rims these days without paying the long buck for actual implement tires.

The two Carlisles have a nice flat profile on the tread like I've come to expect from a radial.

The third, a 2004 "Mission Load Max Radial" has the profile of a bias tire. Is that normal?

Am I looking at a slipped belt on this one? It's perfectly round, and I'd expect it to be egg-shaped if a belt slipped.
