Tread Separation

    A vibration while driving indicates that your vehicle has a problem that needs attention. The tires, steering system and suspension system should be IMMEDIATELY checked to help determine the possible cause of the vibration. If the vibration is not corrected, it could cause excessive tire and suspension wear. It could even lead to a loss of control of the vehicle which could result in an accident. One of the overlooked causes is tread separation. (Made famous by the Firestone/Ford arrangement) Below is an often overlooked problem, tread separation. Below are pictures to help you identify the problem.
