Catastrophic tire failure at highway speeds due to tread separation - cooper response touring 205/55 r16 91h on 2005 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. Tread depth = 5/32, tires were new on used car purchased in 07/2014. No dry rot or visible cracking on tires, 23k mileage on tires. In 07/2018, two of the tires in the set of 4 were replaced due to the beginnings of tread separation (would not balance). I am a former tire development engineer for a major us tire manufacturer and I have analyzed hundreds of failed tires returned to the manufacturer. Based on my analysis, I believe that this tire failed by delamination of the tread due to improper construction or curing and not due to a tire puncture. Since 3 of 4 of these tires have failed, I believe that the entire batch may be defective.

After regular road driveing for a month had front tires wear down to steel belt, purchased tires at walmart so took car back in to have tires looked at was told it was an alignment issue. I know this is not the case because car had just been serviced and alignment checked the same day tire were put on car. The wear out is on the insides of both front tires, and minor wear on the insides of the rear tires as well as majority of the tread is worn off as well on all 4 tires. This wear down caused me to go into ditch in snowy conditions, while driveing at safe speeds.
