Tire Defects, Tire Blowouts, and Vehicle Rollovers

California Car, Truck and SUV Rollover Lawyers

Passenger and light truck tire tread separations are an unfortunate by-product of steel-belted radial tire technology. Due to the difficulty in obtaining adhesion of steel to rubber there is a potential for tread separation on all steel-belted radial tires. This is true especially at high speeds in hot weather. Recent examples of lawsuits involving tire defects and tire blowouts that resulted in vehicle rollovers included the Firestone ATX and Wilderness tires on Ford Explorers, Continental General tires on Lincoln Navigators, the Firestone Steeltex tires on Ford Excursions, and the Goodyear Load Range E tires on 15-passenger vans.

Tire Defects, Tire Blowouts and Vehicle Rollovers

The results of tire tread separation can be catastrophic. Tread belt separation frequently causes tire blowouts. Even when the tire does not lose pressure the driver may nevertheless lose control of the vehicle when the tread and belt separate. Rollover accidents caused by tread separation and tire blowouts have resulted in thousands of serious injury accidents and fatalities over the years. The Law Offices of Carl D. Barnes handles tire defects, tire blowouts, tread separation and tire lawsuits in vehicle rollover and related cases throughout California and across the United States.
