That looks like the feed was left engaged and it eventually squeezes a divot into the urethane on the wheel. Then as the drive wheel comes around to it, the wheel slips a bit, causing more heat, which either cracks or melts the wheel starting at the divot and spreading until failure.

No picture¡ but as far as I know you can buy a new wheel from Felder or get them recovered. Others will know where to recover, I bought new.
Here's another try at inserting pictures. ?The closeup shows the divot missing from the tire. ?Not sure how that happened. ?I estimate I have under 10 hours on the machine. ?
