We are seeing more cases involving spare tire failure. This situation was highlighted when Firestone recalled the Firestone ATX tires but failed to recall the spare. The spare had the same defect which resulted in injuries. Often times the spare may look normal or have good tread but actually be defective. Also, there have been numerous reports of donut spare tires (the smaller spare tire) exploding. Injuries resulting from spare tire failure are often overlooked because they may result in a single vehicle crash.
If you have not done so recently, you should have your spare tires inspected by a tire professional. If you suspect a spare tire may have caused an injury, we welcome the opportunity to investigate the claim. Call (205)912-8248.
