Car and Drive is dares to ask the question "Why are so many of these
Explorers crashing after they sustain one of these tread separations?"
They buy an early 90s Explorer and rig it for a controlled rear drivers tire
failure and see what happens.
The question remains unanswered by the way;  they couldn't make it roll,
even with hands off the steering wheel at 70mph.
