Truck accidents involving truck tire failure were examined by reviewing existing literature, interviewing local cargo haulers, and analyzing several computerized accident data files. As reported in the literature, such accidents account for between 0.68% and 0.82% of all truck accidents in the United States. Data reported by two specific cargo haulers showed that truck accidents resulting from truck tire failure account for 0.43% to 0.75% of all their recorded accidents. However, Highway Safety Research Institute accident-data files indicated a much lower percentage of accident rates.
