While driving on any Illinois roadway, especially the highways, you’ll often see bits of rubber scattered around from trucks and cars that had tire issues.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that approximately 9% of traffic accidents were due to tire issues and in 2017, they found that there were 728 fatalities due to these tire problems. While technology has improved tire safety, driver negligence and manufacturing errors can still have devastating results.
There are numerous ways a tire blowout can occur. These include:
- Potholes
- Overloading the car
- Old/damaged tires
- Under or Over-inflated tires
- Punctures
- Hitting a curb or road debris
- Structural damage due to manufacturing
When a tire blowout occurs, most drivers are not ready for what can happen and react in an extreme manner. Drivers may oversteer into traffic as well as slam on their brakes. Tire traction will be reduced, causing sliding and drifting. Pieces of the tire may fly up or remain in the roadway where other drivers may strike them. Tire blowouts are dangerous and can cause serious accidents and injuries.
