“The tire tread separated completely from the inner sidewalls. There was no indication or warning of any issues, low pressure, no control panel warning, pulling etc. I was entering the highway, accelerated normally, the car driving normal. Then suddenly, I heard a loud pulsating vibration sound as if the tire was blown out. I pulled over to find that the tread had separated completely all the way around the inner part of the tire!!!”
