Unfortunately, sometimes manufacturers are negligent in the design and/or construction of their vehicles, leading these vehicles to become dangerous for consumers. One of the most dangerous defects a vehicle could have is tire defects. Because tires are essential to the proper and safe driving of a vehicle, when they malfunction due to a defect, the effects can be traumatic.
