I had a tire with internal tread separation
12,000 miles later it still was holding up..
it would cause a violent vibration over 70mph

I just replaced them with some used Michelin Energy Saver All Season I scored for 60$ for a pair. they don't have much left but it will get me by and the 10 pounds LESS of rotating mass is noticeable...

(I put it on the drive wheels ) it still has the heavier tires in the front.





it's also better to use your hand bare just make sure no rocks are on the tread and look for the depression (flat spot) or baby bump


also the tire is not under inflated it has 40PSI (even though it looks that way)
