TREAD SEPARATION. I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-580, APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, WHEN THE TREAD ON MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE SEPARATED AND THE TIRE BLEW. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OTHER AWARE DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY WHO ALLOWED ME TO CHANGE LANES AT A REDUCED SPEED. THE TIRE TREAD DAMAGED THE RIGHT FRONT AREA OF MY CAR, CAUSING APPROXIMATELY $4,000 IN DAMAGES, OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY $3,000 WAS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY.

TREADS SEPARATED ON BOTH FRONT LEFT AND FRONT RIGHT TIRES ALONG ON INSIDE EDGE OF EACH WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 93 IN NH. ONE THREW CORD, THE OTHER SHOWED SEPARATION UPON EXAMINATION. DEALER [LAKES REGION AUDI, GILFORD NH] CHECKED INFLATION, AT 31.2 AND 31.4LB (RECOMMENDED PRESSURE IS 32LB). MODERATE TREAD WEAR (4/32IN LEFT?) AFTER 30K MI. DEALER ALSO PERFORMED RE-ALIGNMENT AFTER NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED, BUT FOUND NO SERIOUS PROBLEM (MINOR TOE-IN ADJ). THIS CAR IS DRIVEN MOSTLY IN WASHINGTON DC WHERE IT HAS BEEN VERY HOT RECENTLY, BUT THESE ARE TEMPERATURE CATEGORY A TIRES. SAME FAILURE ON BOTH FRONT TIRES AT SAME TIME SUGGESTS A POSSIBLE MANUFACTURING DEFECT.*AK
