So, you didn't read of my personal experiences with my family, huh?
Didn't read about the mufflers, and hangers on the side of Interstate 26 around Charleston, SC, huh?
Didn't read about all the big chunks of tires on the sides of the road all over the state of SC, huh?
Here's an example of what happened to the car behind mine when that aforementioned event hit their windshield (and it's a police vehicle).
And even more:
Regardless, I'm not trying to convince you because, honestly, I have no dog in this fight and it's not about winning or losing.
You will believe what you do, and until you experience the things in life I have been though, you will not learn from my experience.
I wish you, your family, and your friends safe travels. I hope that you never experience what my family did because of someone else's poor maintenance, and no inspections to catch that poor maintenance.
Oh, and in case you are willing to learn from my life experiences, here is additional information from NHTSA that shows in their study, 9 percent of vehicles had problematic tires in the pre-crash phase which implies (at least to me, maybe not you) those would have been found at inspection.
