What Are the Primary Causes of Tire Failures?
One of the most common reasons for a tire failure to occur is due to ineffective tire adhesion. This can be due to the age of the glue or poor bonding that occurred at some point during the manufacturing process. During the tire making process, there are many stages that impurities can enter into; these impurities can cause a lot of issues down the road and lead to defective tire issues.
A lot of tire manufacturers have known about these issues for quite some time, but have failed to correct them. This can result in serious injuries and even lawsuits.
Time, heat and friction all contribute to wear and tear of tires and the breakdown of the adhesive that holds them together, that’s what makes old tires so dangerous. It’s common industry knowledge that tires should be changed out every six years to lower your chances of an accident, however, most tire professionals lean toward stretching those tires for ten years.
What Can You Do To Minimize Your Risk Of a Defective Tire?
The most common ways to reduce your risk of getting in an accident due to a defective tire are to always do scheduled maintenance on your vehicle, and make sure to check your tires on a regular basis.
Proper tire maintenance includes getting your tires properly rotated, maintaining proper inflation and making sure that you always maintain proper tread. By taking care of your tires, they’ll last much longer, and be safer to drive on.
Recalls are issued when it’s known that a certain brand of tires is defective. It’s important that you do your best to stay informed about the latest tire recalls so you can protect yourself and your family. A lot of times a recall may occur and you won’t have any idea, until you take your car in to get serviced. Just a few minutes a day can go a long way towards minimizing your risk of driving on defective tires.
If you’ve been told that your accident may have been prevented if you would have had different tires, then it’s important that you get in touch with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
