Tread separation is not the only problem that can cause a shimmy. If you
have ever done track days and spent some time "off line" to let people by,
the tires can pick up lots of marbles. That causes a huge out-of-balance
problem until you scrub them off.

I vote for tread separation regardless of speed as long as tire pressure
is correct for all four tires......
