..... While at my dealer I noticed the remains of this Chinese manufactured tire which came off a new trailer sold just 6 months earlier, meaning the tire wasn't any more than a year old and according to the owner the trailer hadn't been towed more than a few hundred kms. Scary - you bet. :E Unusual? - probably ... but an irrelevant argument if it happens to you. :W
That is a Run Flat - the result of operating the tire without inflation pressure, a 90% probability that there is a puncture in the tread. The other 10%? Puncture in the damaged area that can't be seen or leaky valve!
This can happen to any tire at any time.
