Excaliper Ernie Today all you need is a good lawyer and deep pockets. Most of todays society takes NO responsiblity for there actions. They blame everyone and everything but themselves. They don't read the side of every tire they look at, No nothing about DOT, but this tire looks sharp on my car. Tires go on the car and 5 minutes later the car is in an accident, WHY because they where not told and didn't sign off on the contract about driving the car easy for the first 500 miles to get some heat cycles in the tires and get the protective covering off the tires from driving. Who's fault is it's Ernie?
There is a lawsuit pending right now against Firestone for just this case. 3 kids and 2 adults in the MPV. All hurt no one bad. Suit is for millions. IMO they should get rid of bias tires, unless they are the Cooker tire for the cars from the 09 to the 40's and are show cars only. Major law suits against the Ford explorer for roll over issues. Nater kill the CJ-5 jeeps with the same thing. I own 3. I put one on it's side from 4 wheel in a plowing mud field and doing power slides. No one hurt, no damage to me or my 2 friends, laughed about it and put jeep back on wheels and drove off. Jamo would be the one to ask about this kind of law suit. Jamo??
Ernie have a nice day, go easy on those pineapple cocktails.
