I had a left rear tire separate probably 1,500-2,000 miles ago (maybe less). At the time I attributed it to the fact that the front end had devoured the tread off of them and I had just rotated them to the rear. However, I put a couple of good tires from my parts car on the rear and the left rear tire separated again today. The tread on the tire looked just fine, so I'm at a bit of a loss. The bearings on the wheel don't have any abnormal play. Anyone have any ideas why it might be going this? I'm just not buying that it's a co-incident.

 

Thanks.

Nobody have any ideas?

 

The only problem that I can think of that might even remotedly be connected is the fact that my struts are probably worn out. But this is an entirely new problem for me on any vehicle, and I just don't want to go blindly throwing money at the problem.
