Moreover, I would like to point out that the section of the sidewall in the previous photo is a section of a "healthy" part of the tyre. The section of the bad part is here. It looks like the break gets even inside the "triangle", right? Does this change your diagnosis? :)
I love reading nice posts like your one. In my opinion, it is incredibly interesting.
Thank you very much for sharing this information!
By the way, I would like to know more about tyre construction, typical failures and so on. Is there a book which I may read? Other sources. On the internet I...
Whould you explain a bit more? Overloading causes a very specific kind of failure? What do you means "between the layer of fabric"? This tyre has a single sidewall polyester ply (double on the very first part near the rim).

Looking at the PDF at the link:

I am considering changing the tyres of my caravan to stronger ones.
The caravan came with 165R13 86 R (reinforced) tyres.
I found a lot of tyres with same size and 8 PR, i.e. 165R13 94.
I believe the original rims are 5.00B and, often, I see in the tables that these 8 PR tyres need a 5J rim...
