Bizarre. I've never seen anything like that.
Give us an update if you figure out what caused it.

if id had the original metal ring cover on there i would have never figured this out untill i needed it lol.

i have a heavy duty air pump so i usually keep my spares 40 lbs or so.
admittedly i havent checked that in 6 months or so..one of my faillings.

either old and rotted or subjected to stress.

any chance a stray bullet?

BTW my spare is at 80 PSI, which is what I run in the rears, front is 65 PSI

Haven't had that happen, but when an Andersen leveler breaks that's pretty scary too!

Wow! thats horrible! Your tire cover blew up! :B

I have NEVER seen anything like that before, a tire just sitting there and blowing up! Pressure had to build up in it somehow!
