What causes tires to blow out on TAKE OFF?
I can see some extra stress on landing.................
Are pilots making hard landings that weaken the tires/landing gear or is maintenance lacking?
Tires are usually good for ten take offs and landings
but was it a Boeing!?
no worries, a mayor from a small city and who has no aviation experience is in charge.
one of those people who have nothing to do but sit around all day taking videos of airplanes?
Those are some damn good pilots.
There are a “bunch” of these things happening. Is this a fairly regular occurrence or is the news media hyping this?

Did you know that aircraft tires are hand-made? Every tire is carefully constructed and inspected to ensure it meets the stringent requirements the FAA’s Technical Standard Order (TSO) TSO-C62 (current).
...........................
So, why would anyone buy a $130 tire when they can get one for $45? The answer is that the TSO represents a minimum specification. While any aircraft tire should be able to handle a difficult landing on a hot Arizona day, that landing might be the last one for an economy tire if it wears out enough tread. A premium tire may be less affected by the heat and make it through with flying colors. The value of a premium tire lies in how far the manufacturer has exceeded the TSO for the tire. This can take the form of high-tech rubber compounds that resist wear, advanced tread patterns, different ply materials, or UV protection that improves the tire’s ability to resist weather checking.
so...............tires made in China?
Mainstream news this morning, while showing the blowouts, showed some aircraft tires that were underinflated, about 1/2 flat.
Seemed to say they were the other tires on that plane, but I don’t recall if they ‘proved’ that.
Anyway, underinflated tires would get hot and blow.
I once picked up ten 15 inch airplane tires on craig list for $5 each. clearly stamped in the rubber was “failed”
Sold them to a farmer in Nebraska for $100 each for his hay wagons. Only tires that wouldn’t get punctured with all the trash and stickers in the hay fields.
I flew on an AA flight a few weeks ago and cabin filled with smoke with electrical smoke. Said it was normal
GREAT COMMENTS AT THE LINK...

Could be debris on the runway. It’s happened before. It could be from runway maintenance or something from a previous flight.
what is important is that the tire manufacture is woke and hiring based on DEI standards, not whether tires will explode or not!

HOT RUNWAY TARMAC A FACTOR????
Headline writer violated the standards. Any plane problem is required to mention Boeing in the headline even if the plane involved was an Airbus or a Russian or Chinese plane.
They must have switched to Firestone 500s.
