Recap separation?

Did he put anything in writing?Did you get his name?
Did you call dispatch?

 

Accident waiting to happen...

 

From your picture I can't tell if the tread belt is pulling away from the rest of the carcass or if the black line around the sidewall is just the fringe of rubber from the recap process.

 

With the way the actual tread cap is separating from the casing that is just a new blowout waiting to happen. Once the tire gets hot the glue will allow the tread cap to loosen even more and it will come off. It could just sling the cap off and tear up some air lines or ABS wiring.

My suggestion would be to get a tire put on there so you don't have a blowout to slow you down or cause a dangerous situation.

 

To me the pic looks like they simply didn't trim the recap correctly. Nothing wrong with that.
Now if it's the actual recap separating (i.e. the "meat" of the recap), even if it's legal I'd refuse to pull it.

 

Get the tire replaced. Save the headaches.

 

Nothing a little Gorilla glue wouldn't fix.

Not really. Bad retread. Return to manufacturer.

 

What’s it look like under that rubber? To me it looks like it’s just thin stuff that didn’t get trimmed off like mentioned above. Lift up that flap and see if the actual tread is separating or not.

 

I agree, look under the flap. Could just be a thin little strip of excess rubber.
