Car and truck tire tread separations are an unfortunate by-product of steel-belted radial tire technology. It is extremely difficult to adhere rubber to steel and all steel-belted radial tires have the potential for tread separation. The danger of tread separation increases at high speeds and in hot weather.

Tire tread belt separation is the most common mode of failure in steel-belted radial tires. This is a result of both design and manufacturing defects. Some recent examples of tire separations are the Firestone ATX and Wilderness tires on Ford Explorers, Continental General tires on Lincoln Navigators, the Firestone Steeltex tires on Excursions, and the Goodyear Load Range E tires on most 15-passenger vans.
