Tire age

H22A4 said

It’s not stated in any of the reports I’ve read but did the Porsche Paul Walker was in have bald or cracked tires? Only the cops who arrived on scene and the tow truck driver would know that. However, the tires on that Porsche being 9 years old are considered in the accident.

iirc, the subsequent investigation found that the tires on the car were something like double the recommended age for the car. naturally they tried to go after the shop that had last worked on it (the old "ever since..." rule) but supposedly they had paperwork backing up the notation and recommendation for tires that was refused at time of service.

anyway, the both the daughter and dad sued porsche; they settled with both-- i want to say her chunk of change was something like 10M and they didn't disclose the settlement with the dad.
