NHTSA Investigation Into General Tyres Ends

Author: Tyrepress Editors Comments: 0

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation into alleged failures of General Ameri*550 tyres, saying that it could find no safety defect. Ford was using the tyre to replace Firestone tyres and it was alleged that the failure rate of the General tyre was higher than that for Firestone. Many of the supposedly faulty tyres showed abuse and neglect on the part of their owners, it was revealed.

When the investigation started, Ford removed the General tyre from its list of acceptable replacements. The Ford replacement programme officially ended at the end of March..
