I'm thinking our engineers will be able to tell us exactly what is going on inside this tire and the nature of the impending failure that was avoided by removing this tire from service.

"RV Trailer Tire Blowouts:
They are mostly a mystery. That's because hardly anyone will take the time to investigate the cause. If the rim and tire are still intact when you get them off the vehicle, almost any well trained certified tire technician can determine the cause.
Most recipients of a trailer tire blowout are so angry about it all they want to do is point fingers. It's easy to point at a tire and call it all sorts of names and make it the culprit. People will go on the internet forums and badmouth an entire community of tire manufacturers without a shred of substantiating evidence to support their position. SHOW ME SOMETHING OTHER THAN Blah...Blah...Blah!"

"Mystery" solved!
*LOTS* of investigation!
The "Show me" including ST See: "The tires in question . . . ." - 5th para under "The Human Toll".
Note: No doubt many, many, many tire experts and Tire Engineers with lots of experience and certifiable "bona-fides" were utilized.
Certainly the *BEST* money could buy!
Why is this kind of documentation hard to find?.:h
Very easy answer: Sealed!
