Tire Chip and Chunk is a phenomenon that may develop on the tire tread when vehicles are driven on rough gravel or aggressive road surfaces. Typically the tread may lose small pieces of tread rubber within and around the periphery of the tread block. This loss of rubber ultimately leads, with extended usage, to an overall rough appearance to the tread area of the tire.
