I don’t do Facebook. I have done several searches and not one non road hazard has been mentioned.

So as a friend tells me please prove with pics and testimony these you mention are NOT roD hazard.

To be honest I can’t believe there have been none my self but I have seen nothing along with CapriRacer.

I have the pics and they are not road hazard issues they were tire failure themselves as the entire tread has separated from the sidewall. I have posts from facebook and instagram. I would post the pics here but not sure how to from my phone. Can I send them here through a message?

When the tread separates from the sidewall, that is a "run flat" - usually caused by a puncture. I've examined thousands of those and 90% of the time I could find the puncture. The other 10% I speculated that the puncture was in the area of the damage caused after all the air was let out - and this was confirmed by Rex Grogan, a noted tire forensics analyst who published a chart showing a study of where punctures occurred in a tire - and 10% were in the junction between the tread and the sidewall.

The failure mode of interest is a belt-leaving-belt-separation, as described in the Tire Conditions Manual published by the Tire Industry Association. Tire Conditions Manual

This failure is far and away the most common non-road-hazard related failure mode. It is characterized by the tread and top belt detaching in whole or in part, leaving the rest of the casing intact and frequently the tire stays inflated.

If anyone has a photo has one of those in a Goodyear Endurance, it would be of great interest. But if someone only has a tread/sidewall separation, that is NOT of interest as that is caused by a road hazard.

To date, I have not seen nor heard of any.
