You seem to be quoting the placard from a single model from memory - and apparently incorrectly. (I'll concede that Tire Guides might be wrong because they don't list any hybrid Tahoes - but that doesn't explain their other information.)

Further a Tahoe is an SUV, not a car.

And I'll cut to the chase: I've examined 1000's of tread separations - it was my job - so I know what they look like - including the infamous Firestone ATX. Tread separations do NOT involve the sidewall.

Take a closer look at the video you provided. The sidewall doesn't fail - the tire is still holding air. All that debris is the tread and the top belt - the sidewall is still intact. (And for technical purposes, the sidewall starts where the tread ends - and that's about 1" from the shoulder point, an area we tire engineers call the buttress.

Sorry, I stand by what I wrote.
there is no restriction of the word car model t was 67 inches tall which is the height of small suvs

it's not a truck it's a car on a truck chassis, a truck refers to a bed in the back.. it's one of the reason I get to have a hitched ball permanently affixed to my car. and at the same time not require a commercial plate on it..


hitched ball permanently affixed to a car is illegal, but since i have a truck chassis it's not.
