I was pulling a 5th wheel trailer, weighing around 13,000lbs. Driving on I-25 at 65 MPH, the tread separated from the general tire, model ameri*550as on the tire. The tire did not blow out. I did not realize the problem had occurred and was driving on the belt of the tire for several miles. Had the tire blew, the trailer may have flipped causing extensive vehicle damage and possible personal injury or death. The tire was inflated to 75 psi prior to departing on the trip.
