While taking a nap the other day, I heard a very loud KABOOM from outside. Couldn't figure it out. A while later I was walking by the horse trailer on the way to the barn. The noise had come from the spare tire on the horse trailer. Peeled about 1/4 of the tread and black marks on the side of the trailer. this tire has never been on the ground. About 6 or 7 yrs old. The sidewall says For Trailer Use Only, and Made in China. So I decided to look at the RPod tires. Can't find anything about country of origin. Any way to find out from the codes?

Thanks.

Our Hood river edition has Chinese tire brand and model but not serial number included in a of a Fed DOT recall because they left out a bonding agent and they were coming apart. Not confidence inspiring.
