A tire failure analysis expert witness can inspect the tread, belts, sidewalls, bead, inner liner, punctures, fractures or separations, and wear patterns to evaluate how damage developed. Manufacturing information, service history, inflation evidence, photographs, and vehicle records can also help distinguish an initiating failure or preexisting condition from damage that occurred afterward.
Underinflation, overinflation, alignment issues, loading, suspension conditions, and maintenance can produce different wear patterns and alter the loads and stresses experienced by a tire. Underinflation can also contribute to excessive heat buildup and internal damage. An expert can compare the observed wear with the tire's history and physical condition to determine which factors are technically relevant.
Tire marks can provide information about braking, acceleration, steering, or other tire interaction with the roadway, depending on their type and context. A tire expert may address tire-specific characteristics, while calculations involving vehicle speed, motion, and the overall collision sequence generally require accident-reconstruction expertise.
Cuts, punctures, broken cords, sidewall damage, tread separation, and deformation can develop differently depending on whether the initiating event was an internal tire problem or an external road hazard or impact. Examining fracture or separation surfaces, wear patterns, surrounding damage, internal tire condition, and the sequence of visible changes can help evaluate competing explanations.
