Was loading my trailer for a long weekend of dirt bike camping/trail working yesterday. As I was checking my tire pressure, I noticed one of the tires was not flat across the face anymore, but had taken on a rounded profile with the center of the tread noticeably peaked. Air pressure was fine. Grabbed the floor jack, impact and torque wrench and swapped it for the spare.
These are Rainier brand tires that came stock on my 3 year Haulmark double axle 20x8.5 HD axle cargo trailer. I never have much load in the trailer, at least no where close to max. 6-7K loaded. I'm very good about keeping air pressure checked, and my truck has the trailer tire monitor system built in. Had been happy with the tires up until now. I'd say they have more than 1/2 the tread left.
So what would cause a tire to fail this way? I've seen belt separation across the face of tire perpendicularity, but never like this.
I already know what tires I'll be replacing them with, so not asking that question. And you can bet they won't be Rainier!
