- 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

- 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
