The tire can also serve as a fulcrum, both directly/indirectly, in contributing to vehicle rollover. This seminar covers these facets of tire safety with engineering fundamentals discussed/ illustrated with many current case studies. The Pneumatic Tire book is included in the course material. This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 7 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
