While burning rubber today in my Tiger, I noticed a strange sensation coming from the right rear, like a flap had popped off the tire. Upon return home, I inspected the tire and it appears to have pa

OK Rob, I guess we can rule out tires as the cause. However, I still think we can blame it on the tire. I actually have some experience making tires; spent almost a year in Akron working at Fireston

The tread did not separate from the tire. The rolling surface of the tire is fine. The inner circumference of tire (where it interfaces with the rim) pulled away from the outer circumference of the

Rob, It occurs to me that you may be seeing the tire bead sliding towards the center of the rim from side forces. In our years the stock steel wheels, as well as the after-market wheels by LAT and ot

Well the tire is a 1 year old BF Goodrich Radial TA. The wheels are Sunbeam Specialities LAT Aluminum mag repros. I'm suspecting the side bead failed or the rim is bad. Find out when I take the tire

It sounds like the tire, or at least part of it, may have rotated some on the rim and sort of "bunched up" and the excess made the bulge. On the other hand, this is hard to believe since the bead se

Could the rim have a slight deformation (flat spot) from hitting a curb or the like? I've seen this happen. O.K it happened to me. Dr. Moonstone

On reflection, I think you are right. The story, one of many told to me while I was at Firestone, was in this case about an undercure defect in a Goodyear tire. (They say your memory is the second t

Sounds like an undercure problem to me. The edge of the tread and the bead, being the two thickest parts of the tire, are the last to cure. Bob == This email message is for the sole use of the inten
