of incident was 591.34 Miles. This tire had been balanced, air pressure checked regularly, set at 65 psi, and was covered to protect from sun damage. Inspection of the tire revealed that the tread belt had separated from the tire casing, beating against the trailer. This contact caused approx $5-6,000.00 Worth of damage to the side and under side of the trailer. When the damaged tire was replaced with a spare tire the air pressure was checked and was still 65 psi.
