Do you imagine a drunk driver swerving into your lane? Most people rarely think about their tires as a cause of accidents. Actually, defective tires cause many accidents.  During the Firestone/Explorer debacle, Firestone recalled over 14 million defective tires in the United States alone.

Tread seperation is a dangerous occurrence. Loss of the tire tread will cause the driver to lose control and potentially crash. Tread seperation occurs for many reasons including the design characteristics of the tire and the methods of manufacturing used by the tire company. Many tires include a nylon cap ply that keeps the tread from separating from the tire carcass. However, many manufacturers sell tires to consumers that do not contain this important design characteristic. Only careful and expert analysis of the tire can determine whether a tire that caused you to crash is defectively designed and manufactured. 
 

The age of a tire is an important issue when it comes to tire safety and tire durability. Tires are made of rubber. Rubber ages and becomse prone to failure. You cannot determine the age of the tire with the information that is printied on the tire. On the other hand, the tire manufacturer knows exactly how old each tire is. A tire can be too old for safe operation even if the tread still appears to be fine. If you buy a new vehicle with aged are sold an old tire and are in an accident as a result of that tire, you deserve compensation from the manufacturer and retailer. Sometimes you may run into a retailer that will sell you a tire that is not the right size for your tire rim. A mismatched tire can also cause an accident.
