>> In the winter, to here, the SUV is like sliced bread. Glenn, I totally agree. Instead of SUV, I should have said " a 7000 pound 10 passenger vehicle, usually holding just 1 occupant and getting single digit gas mileage". But the real annoyance of SUV's is the manner in which they are driven. I dislike the tailgaiting and cut-in that seems to be expected as a right by some SUV drivers. Those same drivers would not do this in a smaller car because they don't feel as protected from the consequence of their actions. Which I think brings us to these accidents caused by tire failures. I think you're around my age, which means we were driving before steel belted radials became common. I remember having many tire failures and blowouts in the late sixties on long trips. I had never heard of a car overturning because of tire failure. So I'm puzzled why a failure of 100 tires in 10 or 20 million is considered significant. In the late 1960's I used to work for a trucking company and it was simply impossible to drive across the country without shredding a few tires.
