They may not have the responsibility of the mayhem that is caused but I 
think they can still be held responsible for basic product liability 
like "works as advertised". IOW the consumer should be able to expect 
that a tire will "work" on his car. Now we all know that some tires will 
fail due to problems and generally tire companies will replace the tire 
however they are not responsible for the mayhem that may have resulted 
(unless some smart lawyer can prove negligence).
