POSSIBLE CAUSES This phenomena are caused by under inflation and excessive taxi distances. RECOMMENDATION When swelling or bulges are detected at the lower sidewall, remove the tire and return to…
POSSIBLE CAUSES Wrinkling of the innerliner typically occurs due to over deflection of the tire. This type of damage can also indicate that the tire has experienced low inflation pressure…
POSSIBLE CAUSES Weathering and radial cracking occur when tires are exposed to ozone or to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for extended periods of time, and are accelerated by insufficient tire…
POSSIBLE CAUSES Circumferential cracks are caused by load shear and stress combined with low tire inflation pressure. Cracking in the area where the tire touches the rim flange can occur…
