Tire Defects
Tires do much more than allow cars to make contact with the road. They also support the vehicle, provide traction, and allow drivers to maintain control over their automobiles. Because of the importance of car tires, they must be carefully maintained by drivers and mechanics.
Unfortunately, proper maintenance cannot prevent a defective tire from causing harm. If you or someone you love suffered harm because of a tire defect, contact the Lake Geneva auto defects lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, today at 800-242-2874 for a free legal consultation.
Types of Tire Defects
Tire defects refer to any abnormality or fault in a tire that occurs as a result of faulty design or improper manufacturing procedures. Some of these incidents are isolated, while others are more widespread. Regardless, a faulty tire may put drivers and their passengers at risk for serious accidents and injuries.
Common tire defects include:
- Tread separation
- Weak rubber composite
- Weak support cables
- Side wall deformations
These defects may make a tire more prone to a blowout. When a tire blows out, drivers may lose control of their vehicles, which may result in serious collisions. In these cases, individuals may suffer severe injuries, some of which may even be fatal.
