I wonder in how many of those "tire caused crashes" the vehicle was going 80 mph with 15 psi in the tires, with 900 lbs of crap in the back or better yet up on a rooftop carrier? And did the cell phone yappin operator even hear the flap flap flap, or was he/she aware of what that noise was, and did they gently slow down to pull over, or did they slam on the brakes and/or violently overcorrect the steering wheel?
