- Overinflation: When a tire is overinflated, the steel belts are put under more stress, making them more likely to separate from the tread.
- Underinflation: When a tire is underinflated, the sidewalls flex more, which can cause the steel belts to rub against each other and eventually separate.
- Impact damage: If a tire hits a pothole or other object, the impact can cause the steel belts to separate from the tread.
- Manufacturing defects: In some cases, tire steel belt slippages can be caused by manufacturing defects.
Tire steel belt slippages can be dangerous because they can cause the tire to lose its shape and stability. This can lead to a blowout, which can cause a vehicle to lose control and crash.
If you suspect that your tires may have steel belt slippages, it is important to have them inspected by a qualified tire technician as soon as possible.
