Abstract
Recent highly publicized recalls of radial tires brought about by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) raise a question as to the reliability of steel belted radial tire technology. The risk posed by such tires will be examined in the context of changing tire technologies, and their positive safety impact will be discussed in connection with the recently recalled Firestone “500” steel belted radial tire.
