A report of findings for Task Order No. 4 entitled 'Blowout Resistant Tire Study for Commercial Vehicles,' under the Accident Data Analysis Support project (DTRS57-97-C-00051). The report is organized by the following principal sections: (1) Overview, (2) Crash Data Analysis of Truck Tire Blowouts, (3) Information Review of Truck Tire Blowouts, (4) Blowout Resistant Tire Developments and Related Industry Contacts, and (5) Summary Observations. Section 1 provides a short summary of the report and its organization. Section 2 contains analyses conducted by the UMTRI Center for National Truck Statistics that address findings regarding the crash record relating to heavy truck tire blowouts. Observations from the crash data analysis note the very small percentage of fatal crashes associated with tire failures overall and the even smaller involvement of tire blowouts in fatal crashes when the blowout occurs at a rearward location on the truck (non-steering axle cases). Crashes related to road debris (of which tire debris represents some unknown portion) are also addressed briefly in Section 2. A key observation from the crash data analysis is the significant linkage between fatalities involving truck tire blowouts and front tire (steering axle) involvement. A strong relationship between type of crash and left-versus right-side front axle blowouts is also noted.
