Tread/cord separation is usually pretty present across the rpm band.

Actually that was shortly after I left but funnily enough I was in Red Lodge for an outdoor wedding and it was hot enough for me to sweat through a brand new suit. I couldn't believe it when I heard about the snow a week later!

I've had 2 sets of tires on vehicles where the belts were broken and it caused an annoying vibration but it seemed to be at around 50mph. Faster speeds they sort of smoothed out. Replaced the tires and problem dissapeared.

That's Montana weather for you.

Just last week we were in the 90's and now we can't get out of the 50's

We get people in the shop everyday complaining of a lower speed wobble that seems to smooth out at higher speeds, it's almost always a tread separation. Usually a vibration from a kingpin (but, of course, not always) is more a shake, thump or chatter after hitting a bump. They also tend to cause a truck to wander.
