tires-a different perspective
WILLACY COUNTY -(that is in Texas) Two Valley families were awarded nearly $12 million by a Willacy County jury in a verdict against the nation's largest tire maker. Both families were involved in a horrific accident just outside Matamoros on New Year's Eve in 2006.
The Willacy County panel found a manufacturing flaw in the Goodrich tire made by Michelin North America contributed to the crash. A tire on an F-250 pick up truck driven by Jesus Guzman of Raymondville separated from its tread causing the vehicle to swerve into oncoming traffic. It collided with an SUV that claimed the lives of six people.
Ariel Flores, his wife, and two children from Pennsylvania, and his nephew and friend from San Benito were all killed. A 10-year-old child in the pickup was paralyzed.
I have Michelins on my truck and Bridgstone on the trailer and I am very happy with both FWIW
