An SUV is a vehicle that presents a driver with unforeseen problems with handling, stability, and safety. The treads on steel belted radial tires of an SUV as well as light trucks and passenger vehicles have a tendency to separate. When this happens on an SUV, the vehicle often rolls over due to the their high center of gravity and narrow wheelbase. This phenomenon known as tread separation can be extremely dangerous, because when this happens, the driver has a tremendous amount of difficulty controlling the vehicle. Tread separation can occur when the steel belts do not adhere well to the rubber on the tires. This can be the result of a problem with the way the tire was made (manufacturing defect) or the failure to incorporate important safety features into the design of the tire (design defect). When this happens there are often catastrophic consequences.
