What would be the safe recommend distance to avoid a tire tread de-lamination? And would it apply to the sides as well as the bumpers?
If you're talking about a blown tire flying thru the air, you might as well bend over and kiss it... but even then, few cause crashes. It's (almost) always a driver over-compensating and losing control.

If it's avoiding an obstacle in the road, drive only as fast as your car can stop, plus 2 seconds.
