Thread had separated all the way around both tires. The tires were power king towmax str st225/75r15d.
Tires · at 3,500 miles · reported May 18, 2015
Towmax str tire, belt failure. While performing routine maintence checks on brakes, springs and hubs, tire was taken off unit to access these components. Upon removal the tire was examined and found to be out of round and have a blister with torn rubber on the inside wall. Upon further inspection the belts seem to have let go and the tire is now fully rounded where it contacts the road. Proper tire pressure has been and is currently maintained throughout it's short service life. Tire did not blow, as failure was averted due to this inspection and it will be replaced.
