Defective Tires in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Tire failure is just as, or even more dangerous, than a mechanical failure in an automobile. There is little that is more frightening to deal with while driving than a blow-out in a fast moving vehicle.

Many tire manufacturers have experienced tire defect and failure problems with their tires. It appears to be an industry wide problem and not confined to only one or two manufacturers. Tires have been recalled in the past due to tire manufacturing defects and tire failures which resulted in sudden blow-outs and de-treading.

Tire tread separation at highway speeds is disastrous and too often a rollover accident is the result. Rollover accidents often crush the occupants of the vehicle causing spinal cord injuries, head injuries, paralysis and death.

Tires manufactured with inherent flaws are more likely to have problems like tread separation, premature wear and tear and tire fatigue. Tire failure usually begins with cracks on the side of the tire. These cracks grow larger and instead of causing a flat tire, the cracks create a separation between the tire treads and belts which causes tread failure.
