[Shop-talk] Tire thread separation

[Peter Murray]

Sounds exactly like what I had happen to the Yokohama (vintage 2013) on my
2008 S4 Avant during the drive home with our newborn boy about a month ago.
Upon inspection, an internal belt had failed, and outer tread was peeling
away. Fortunately, it held, so we could get home without issue (aside from
the noise).

If the noise goes away when you change the tire, you've located at least
the location of the issue!
