by Yadav A, Jiju CM, Kumar P and Das NC (2025). Front. Mech. Eng. 11:1576195. doi: 10.3389/fmech.2025.1576195
In the published article, there was an error in Figure 1 as published.

Figure 2. (a) Load transfer process when fiber in tension (Hyer and White, 2009), (b) Tension at carcass ply and belt in radial tyre (Yamagishi et al., 1987).
The corrected Figure 1 and its caption appear below.
In the published article, there was an error in Figure 4 as published.

Figure 4. Visual analysis: (a) Failure location at different circumferential positions of the tyre, (b) Bare cord and cord shadow at the failure location, (c) Failure due to impact, (d) Failure due to flat spot.
The corrected Figure 4 and its caption appear below.
In the published article, there was an error in Figure 5 as published. The corrected Figure 5 and its caption appear below.

Figure 5. (a) Identifying different components from the X-ray image, (b) X-ray image of failed tyre.
In the published article, there was an error in the first paragraph of subsection 4.1 under section Results and discussion.
This sentence previously stated:
These failures were not restricted to any specific side, whether NSS or SS, and could occur at any circumferential location around the tyre. For reference, the barcode location was designated as 0◦, and the inner liner (IL) splice was marked at 180◦, as shown in Figure 4a.
The corrected sentence appears below:
These failures were not restricted to any specific side, whether NSS or SS, and could occur at any circumferential location around the tyre, as shown in Figure 4a.
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
