"Its a combination of heat and low gas prices, more people can afford to travel and travel further," Houston tire defect attorney Rob Ammons told CBS news on Saturday. "Drivers are trusting that if their tires are properly inflated they are safe. The truth is, vehicle tires are most vulnerable on long trips at highway speeds in high temperatures."

Ammons says the best way drivers can be sure their tires are safe for Memorial Day weekend trips is to check each and every tire before the trip for uneven tread wear before they hit the road. Tires are more likely to fail when they are six years or older regardless of the amount of tread on the tire. Because tires don't have a 'born on' date its difficult for most people to know when their tires have reached an age when tread separations are more likely to occur.
