Why does my steering wheel shake?

A separated tire, where the tread or internal components start to detach from the tire itself, can exhibit several noticeable symptoms:

Vibration: You may experience unusual vibrations or a rough ride, particularly at higher speeds, due to the imbalance caused by the separation.

Noise: There could be a pronounced thumping or flapping noise from the tire as it rotates, which can be caused by the detachment of the tread or internal layers.

Visual Damage: Look for visible signs of separation, such as bulges, bubbles, or distorted areas on the tire's surface. Tread may appear uneven or peeling away from the sidewalls.

Handling Issues: The vehicle might exhibit poor handling, pulling to one side, or unstable steering, as the tire's performance deteriorates.

Increased Heat: The tire may overheat more quickly, leading to potential blowouts if the separation is severe.

Loss of Pressure: You might notice a gradual loss of air pressure due to the separation affecting the tire’s integrity.
