Blowouts, Defective Rims and Tread Separations Can All Lead to Car Accidents

For most drivers, flat tires are annoying. But a tire blowout or tread separation that occurs while driving 70-miles-per hour on a crowded highway is terrifying. And even the most safety conscious car owner who performs regular vehicle maintenance can’t prevent a blowout if the manufacturer defectively designs or makes a tire.

Tire defects, tread separations and blowouts are also a leading cause of fatal rollover accidents or permanent injuries. Accidents involving worn or defective tires often fall into one of four categories:

  • Tire aging
  • Tread separation
  • Tire blowout
  • Defective rims
