That's the reason it's against the law to put recaps on the steering axle. Also the prep work may have been shoddy at the recappers or the casing may have been bad.
They are a problem and can and do kill People so maybe They should only be allowed on roads with speed limits under 55mph.
I do not doubt what you are saying, but then the FACT MUST BE that obviously Trucker's let their tire pressure fall too low and the end result produces a very dangerous situation and that is NOT only for Motorcyclists. Since we KNOW that will never change, we need to get the DOT to BAN Retreads!

Maybe we should call them ASSAULT TIRES to get them banned!
