Every day, people buy defective tires that could cause them serious injury on the road. When purchasing from big names like Firestone, Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear, and Michelin, many consumers feel confident that they have purchased a reliable tire from a company that knows what they’re doing. The truth, however, is that these companies have produced thousands of defective tires over the years. When selling on a national scale, many manufacturers and retailers forget to account for the weather of the local area. In Florida, the high temperatures can wear out a tire quickly. Any tires sold in the sunshine state should be built to accommodate the heat.

In most cases, it is impossible for the average consumer to know they are buying a defective tire. Manufacturers have tried to claim that it is the buyer’s fault if they purchase a defective product, but the reality is that there is no way an individual could know when a tire is affected by a production error.
Additionally, the sale of tires is mostly unregulated, which is highly disadvantageous to a consumer this is not car savvy. A store could sell a tire that has been sitting untouched on the shelf for decades to an unknowing consumer. Old tires have a much higher risk of blowouts, and though you can check the part’s age by checking the ID number, many retailers take advantage of the fact that few people are aware of this and sell the item without ever bothering to mention the risks.
For years, our Florida defective tire lawyers have successfully litigated these cases and recovered millions for clients. We know what factors to investigate in order to demonstrate how the blowout was the fault of the manufacturer and not user error.
