Don't Kill Yourself Repairing Company Equipment.

I hope you ment 1,000,000... Because I get more than 100,000 out of virgin rubber all the time, an probably about that out of retreated trailer tires. But I dont think tires should be retreaded more than once, MAYBE twice.

 

I am not saying this is for sure , but I think the military does run solid rubber tires in some cases.

 

I'm confident that with our brilliant ideas combined, we can solve this tire crisis.

I was reading another thread about tire vandalism, and it's possible that your tire was sabotaged by the Salvation Army, PETA, or Toys For Tots.

 

Got to say, never seen anyone do it that way. I had an issue like that once on a drive tire on the truck. Was able to get it on a block and put a board under the tire and wiggle the board a little (almost effortlessly) to get it back to set the bead to take air. I don't know if you had the straps too tight, or maybe it had nothing to do with the straps at all why it blew like it did. I had one blow on the trailer on me two weeks ago when I hit a pothole. I imagine it was running low on air from something prior to hitting the pothole that made it blow the inside sidewall out. It was also a recap tire, which was only maybe 1 month old. The "blow" I heard was so faint when it happened at 70mph on I-70 in Illinois that I thought I blew another heater hose on my truck. Didn't even know the inside sidewall blew until I limped it to the truck stop (I was 3 miles from it and stopping there for my break anyway) and tried to put air in the tire. Couldn't tell immediately anything was wrong with the tire besides it being flat.

 

A can of stating fluid and a book of matchs is the easiest way to bead the tire back up.. you just need to be quick with the air hose once it beads

 

Are they solid, or the Tweel type that?
I would think that these would be the way to go in an environment in which flats are unavoidable. I can't imagine them working out in an on road application though.

 

In your original post you complained of retread trailer tires but then all the pics you posted are of virgin Bridgestone R123 tires. There’s really no need to reinvent the tire because you had an issue with a tire that someone had run flat long enough for the bead to unseat. Also sometimes when a sidewall blows like that it’s because of previous damage like curbing it or having the inside of the sidewall damaged from a puncture.
