Forensic Tire Investigations

Experts in tire design and failure analysis are frequently retained when a damaged or failed tire is associated with a severe vehicle crash. Utilizing crash evidence and industry experience, our experts can determine if tire damage was the cause or result of a crash incident.

Where tire failures are found to have contributed to the cause of a crash, our engineers have the training, education, and industry experience to determine how and why tires fail. Investigations can include an examination of design and manufacturing practices. Our experts also look at the actions of tire retailers and service stations, including tire fitment, repair, and rotation.

Tire Investigations Often Include:

• Tire manufacture or design defects
• Tire damage prior to or resulting from a crash
• Tire placement & replacement
• Tire repair
• Tire age
• Tire wear
• Tire selection
