Broken Band in Tire Causing the Tire to Balloon in the Center
Question:
Why are my trailer tires ballooned out in the center of the tread? It is consistent all the way around. There is no other abnormal tread wear. They have good tread depth. They are not and have never been over inflated.

Expert Reply:
It sounds like the band inside of your tires has broken. This will cause your radial tires to balloon in the center. Broken belts in tires usually come from defects during the manufacturing process. However, they can occur from improper mounting, degraded and aged rubber, extreme heat, oversteering, and debris. The belts break into small pieces and change the shape of the tire.
