The truck treads you see laying around are not retread separations. Look
carefully and you'll see belts, ply materials, etc. which are not part
of a retread. What you see is real tire destruction, i.e. belt
separation. Maybe one tire was running at half pressure or something.
OTOH, that's not to say that a tire may be 184 years old, recapped 48
times or something. . . . .
