Tire Peel Off Car Accidents
The other day I was traveling on Route 80 at approximately 65 mph when a tire delaminated on a truck in front of me causing a large piece of rubber to peel off one of the tires, become airborne, causing me to swerve and almost lose control of my car. There are numerous reported deaths and injuries as a result of tire delamination and resulting tire failure despite the fact that safety features were developed decades ago to prevent treads from peeling off. Fortunately, I was one of the lucky drivers on the road and many times a delamination of a tire results in the loss of control of a vehicle or an accident avoidance maneuver where drivers are not so lucky.
Many trucking companies and tire manufacturers cut costs by failing to take proper safety measures which would cost a minimal amount of money to prevent delamination peel offs. In this tough environment everybody from tire manufacturers to trucking companies and bus companies facing intense cost reduction pressure take short cuts which ultimately lead to catastrophic injuries and many times preventable fatalities.
