the most common defective tire case, or those cases where tires are over five years old. Well, you might ask yourself, we don't see cases where, we don't have tires over five years old. You might, if you have a pickup truck and you have a spare on the bottom and you've had it for 10 years, you've probably gone through three or four sets of tires, but you've never changed that spare. You put that spare that's hanging under your truck for 10 years back on your car, you get going 60 or 70 miles an hour, you'll have a blowout. And we know these tires are old. We know they're defective. Other defective tire cases happen when you have a little bit of a mismatch between the size of the tire and the size of the rim. And so when those tires blow out, people will blow a tire and they will begin to correct the car. When that rim hits the ground, it begins to develop a coin edge. And we can look at the rim itself, just visually inspect the rim and see where that coin edge changes from the bottom as it goes up the side, as the cars begin to tip. And we know that it was a defective tire case because of the way the rim dropped to the asphalt and then rotated over. So when you have these cases where you think a tire went bad or you think that maybe the place that changed your tires didn't tell you that you should have changed the spare that's now six years old or seven years old and it's dry rotted, that's a defective tire case. Give us a call.
