Has anyone experienced this issue? One of my students had a nose gear tire failure on landing. Outcome was ok but painful given that it happened at night.

Introduction
This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) alerts operators, pilots, and aircraft manufacturers of
possible inner tube failures made from butyl rubber by Goodyear Aviation Tires, (Goodyear).
At this time, the failure of the inner tubes is not an unsafe condition that would warrant airworthiness
directive (AD) action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR) part 39.
The SAIB has been revised to incorporate updated information from Goodyear and highlight inner
tube failures are not limited to only cold weather operations.
