What kind of tire defects can lead to a personal injury?
Possible tire defects that can cause unnecessary accidents and personal injuries include tire blow-outs, losing tread, and breaking away from the rim. The most serious type of tire defect and potentially harmful is the belt-leaving-belt defect. In this type of tire fault, the belts completely separate from the tread of the wheel, causing a complete structural collapse of the wheel. Unfortunately, this type of problem typically occurs at high speeds, forcing drivers to lose control of the vehicle.
