Common Causes of Tread Separation
The more you understand about the makeup of a tire, the easier you will find it to identify defective tires and pinpoint their role in your accident.
Tires are built in the five layers:
- Carcass, or green tire
- Skim tire
- Steel belts
- Second skim tire
- Treads
Since tires are made by hand, workers are responsible for affirming that each tire has been made correctly and is safe for road use. If dirt and moisture are not cleaned off tire surfaces after each step, the layers may not adhere correctly. In other cases, a company may use old skim stock to make tires; as the rubber deteriorates over time, tire separation becomes more likely.
In addition to the above manufacturing defects, tires may also suffer from design defects. State-of-the-art tires include a nylon overlay between the steel belts and the tread. This overlay seals the inner tire and prevents separation. Despite its proven safety value, this feature increases manufacturing costs and is therefore normally left out unless you’re buying a high-performance tire.
