Recap came off this tire by North Battleford,never lost air pressure in the tire,just lost all the skin.Did a number on the trailer.When I owned my own trucks I refused to buy recaps,this was a almost new tire!
Glad there was nothing beside me!

It came off in one piece,When it unwound off the tire it reached around the bumper and slapped down on top of the fender and lights,would not have done near as much damage if it came off in pieces.It actually hit the side of the tanker in two spots as well.
