Defective Tires and Car Accidents

Defective tires present a serious danger to drivers and are a common cause of car accidents. You rely on your tires to help you maintain control of your vehicle, especially when driving on dangerous roadways or during adverse weather conditions. When you have a defective tire, it can cause your vehicle to lose control, resulting in catastrophic, life-altering injuries.

Common tire failures associated with defective tires include:

• Tire bead failure
• Zipper failure
• Multi-piece wheel explosions
• Tire tread separation
• Belt adhesion

Unfortunately, you cannot trust that your tires are safe and effective simply because they are manufactured by a known and reputable tire company. Major tire manufacturers such as Goodyear, Firestone, and Cooper have all initiated recalls on defective tires in recent years.
