This Fort Lauderdale Tire Failure Attorney handles tire failure cases that occur due to all sorts of reasons. Included in these are design defects and manufacturing defects. That is, a tire may be designed improperly or it may be manufactured improperly, and either of these issues may cause the tire to fail.

Improper tire design can include improper ratio or size of steel belts. Incorrect separation between tread and steal belts can also be considered an improper tire design.

On the other hand, improper manufacturing can include the use of aged adhesives, incorrect cooking temperatures and contamination during the manufacturing process.

Tires are also frequently improperly or negligently placed. That is, a tire may be placed on a vehicle that doesn’t match, is too old, or was already used. If this is the case, a tire failure may result.

Various events can result from either defective tire design or defective manufacturing. Included in these is tread separation. This occurs when a tire’s belts separate from each other. This causes the tire’s tread to separate from the rest of the tire’s body. Tread separation can make it extremely difficult for the driver of the vehicle to keep control of the vehicle. As such, tread separation frequently results in rollover accidents or other catastrophic accidents.

A tire blowout can also result from a tire design or manufacturing defect. A tire blowout occurs when the tire is punctured or lacerated. This can be caused by a defective rim. It can also be caused by the tire running over an object in the road. Tire blowouts can likewise be caused by either air pressure that is too high or air pressure that is too low.

Tires can also fail when a tire is either being placed on a vehicle or when it is being inflated. This includes “sidewall zipper failure,” which occurs when a tire’s sidewall explodes. It also includes bead fracture, which occurs when one of the tire’s beads gets stuck on the rim as the tire is being placed on a vehicle. This can cause the tire to explode. Finally, it includes multi-piece wheel explosions. Some tires are made of multiple component parts, and the tire’s air pressure can cause these pieces to explode.
