Tread separation occurs when the tread belt becomes disengaged from the base of the tire. When a tread belt separation occurs, it frequently leads to a tire blowout and a dangerous auto accident. Tread separations can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Two major tire manufacturers, Bridgestone/Firestone and Continental, have come under fire recently due to faulty tire manufacturing that resulted in serious injury and death for hundreds of people. Most recently, Continental recalled more than a half million tires installed on Ford SUV's.

Tread separations due to improper manufacturing can include the following:

• Improper repairs
• Use of old or dry materials
• Curing moisture into the tire
• Use of petroleum prior to vulcanization
• Poor quality control during final inspections
