On September 18, 2025, while driving at ~65–70 mph on the saw mill parkway in mount kisco, NY, a michelin latitude tour hp tire (235/55r19) suffered a sudden circumferential tread/belt separation. The tread detached completely from the casing while the sidewall remained intact. A small screw was present in the center tread, but there was no tpms warning or gradual pressure loss prior to the failure. This behavior is inconsistent with ordinary puncture damage and indicates a potential workmanship/materials defect. The separated tread, tire carcass, and wheel are preserved and available for inspection. The tires were installed by the dealer (Audi new rochelle) on June 12, 2024, as part of certified pre-owned reconditioning before sale. This catastrophic failure posed an immediate risk of serious crash. Tire size: 235/55r19.
