You could only sue if the tires blew out, caused a wreck and injuries. Since there is no regulation, as it is now, you cannot sue.

 

hmmmmmmmmmmm.........if they're old, im gon to drive the $h!t out of them lol


but im not laughing at th tire blowing out situation, because i feel horrible for that guy in the vid.

 

Yeah same here. Thats so horrible. He lost his son over sheer ignorance of the manufacturers...Sure, he probably got a lot of $$, but thatd never be the same again for him.

 

Tire manufacturers say a tires are good for 10 years as long as they are not cracking and dry rotting. I have no worries. My tires don't last that long

 

Since when does the Bar issue membership to 14 year olds? Good God.

 

he may have goten alot of money for the accident, but that doesnt bring your child back...

in my case...since i have a VERY bad temper, if that happened to me and anything happened to my daughter...the place where i bought the tires, and the manufacturer would have some dead employees

 

What the hell are you talking about?

You are being watched!

 

i didnt get it either lol

 

Its easy to see how tire blow outs at speed can be potentially dangerous, but I think most people over-rate the danger in their minds.
I've had 4 highway blowouts that I can think of, none were all that bad.
In every case, I could feel it coming on at least a few seconds before it happened, and had time to slow down and pull over towards the right.
Still going in excess of 50 mph I'm sure, but its not like you instantly lose all control and flip over, catch fire and die.

It takes some doing to keep under control, but not all that bad.
The danger would be if you ignore or fail to recognize the warning that, in my experience, a failing tire will almost always give before it ruptures.
If you are at speed & have a causal grip on the steering wheel and are in proximity to other vehicles or concrete highway barriers/structures, then yes, the wheel can easily be yanked out of your hands, you can lose control and wreck.

Last blowout I had was about a year ago in a car.
I was going about 70, and a strange, rapidly repeating sound like "rucka rucka rucka" started, kinda like when you drive on those wake up strips along the sides of some highways, only I was in the middle.
I was trying to classify the cause of this sudden rucka rucka rucka sound in my mind, and at first thought some guy driving by me was having problems.
I then felt a slight wobble in the steering, 2+2 added up quickly and I realized it was me with the problem.
I had time to slow up a bit and prepare for the blowout, and managed to easily limp to the shoulder and change the tire.

 

i just checked my truck and the last numbers were 1105...so the 11th week of 2005 is when my tires were made...PO purchased them new last year (2009)............
