Like all motor vehicle parts, tires are designed to undergo a certain amount of wear-and-tear over time. However, if the tires were poorly designed or manufactured, then the tires are at risk of tread separation. Tire tread separation most frequently occurs in the tires used by commercial semi trucks because many truck owners use refurbished tires to save money.
Tread separation has many causes. A tire accident can happen from:
Many causes of tread separation and tire blowouts are entirely preventable. Sadly, truck drivers, owners and other motorists do not always spend the necessary time and resources to ensure that their vehicles are safe to drive. This negligence can then prove to be extremely harmful, even deadly.
Tire tread separation typically causes a complete loss of control of the vehicle. On a highway, this can then quickly result in catastrophic vehicle accidents. Serious injuries and wrongful death can occur when such accidents happen. If someone loses a loved one, then the pain is multiplied by the idea that the accident could have been prevented if the tire had been properly manufactured and designed.
