Outside sidewall had a small minor bulge. Noticeable but easily overlooked. Inside a gash from tread to edge of wheel. Note the rust.
Listen to what your tires are telling you.

No leak. But I’m sure she would have blown tomorrow on my next haul.
I noticed the bulge on my post trip at the yard. I drove from the tire shop getting steers put on about 1 mile away. While I was there I spoke to my sales rep on how good that tire has been on the trailer and we inspected it. He even mentioned how well it wore. 1stinking mile and it should a fault. Problem was hidden inside.

Impact break. Most likely from past curbing. Rust is from moisture in inflation air getting to steel ply
Long FLD, hope not dumb twucker and Short Fuse EOD Thank this. -
Could it be from potholes, some can’t be dodged? Or from before it was mounted, maybe being tossed around, or dropped from high up?
