Transcript:

Tire failure has also been associated with deteriorating rubber manufacturing errors, poor quality control, weak materials or even adhesive problems. If you or one of your family members has been hurt in an accident resulting from tread separation or a tire blowout, you may be able to hold the tire manufacturer, tire retailer or dealer responsible.
