During takeoff at Birmingham, the left inboard main wheel tyre (number 2) shed its tread. The tread had failed as a result of overstress in the sidewall of the tyre, leading to a break up of the tyre casing plies. Air penetrated through the failure in the inner wall of the tyre and then permeated through the casing leading to the tread package lifting from the carcass. The overstress was attributed to the tyre running under-inflated, which may have been as a result of leakage from the wheel fuse plugs.
