The exploding tire shown in the photo of the truck was NEVER retreaded. The tire was not damaged in any way, but it was deliberately run with an insufficient amount of air pressure, as a result generating excessive heat which caused the tire to come apart. It took less than 50 miles to destruct. The video can be viewed by using real player shown below.This video, Dispelling Myths About Rubber on the Road, dramatically shows the tire exploding, and is available free of charge upon request. info@retread.org
