The status of several promising methods for non-destructive tire inspection is surveyed with the conclusion that radiographic, infrared, holographic and ultrasonic techniques warrant further evaluation. A program plan is outlined to correlate non-destructive tire inspection data to tire failure data. The emphasis is on inspection systems having sufficient resolution and discrimination capability to detect a broad range of anomalies. The inspected tires are subjected to dynamic wheel testing such as specified in Safety Standards 109. Failed tires are analyzed to determine those anomalies that lead to tire failure and eventually to provide a capability for failure prediction based upon non-destructive inspection techniques.
