Bob,
The tread did not separate from the tire. The rolling surface of the tire is
fine. The inner circumference of tire (where it interfaces with the rim)
pulled away from the outer circumference of the rim. There is a big bulge
where it pulled away, yet the strange thing is the tire still holds air. It's
almost as if the tire or perhaps the rim is out of round. Or, perhaps the lip
along the rim or the bead along the tire is too low to hold the tire.
Maybe I should post a digital image of the problem somewhere. Anyone have a
site to post a temporary picture?
