ATTACHMT: 2/2/96 letter from Samuel J. Dubbin to Clifford C. Sharpe (A44; Std. 109)

TEXT: I represent a client who purchased a Turbo Plus Radial GT steel belted radial tire bearing Dept of Transportation Serial No.: ADHY28M166 manufactured by General Tire, Inc. between April 20-26, 1986 at its Mayfield, KY plant. My client purchased the tire as "new" on November 12, 1991. The tire unraveled in March of 1993 after about 14,000 miles of travel causing injury.

Are there any regulations that address the selling as new of a tire that was manufactured 5 years hence?

Are you aware of any studies or information on the affects of age/time on an unused tire?

I will be responsible for all costs associated with this request.
