Some years ago we were driving up north and at the end of the first day I noticed a vibration started. I did a 5 wheel tire rotation at the hotel that evening and when I pulled off the fourth wheel I cut my fingers on the steel belt. Had a tread separation at the belt.
The tires were 7 year old and about 2/3 used up on tread depth. We bought 4 new tires the next morning before we continued the trip.
