 Every fan of CSI knows
that when it comes to examining crime scene evidence, tire tracks are important.
It seems that you can
always count on the bad guy in the movies, or on TV, to leave some tracks behind.
 The real authorities also give careful consideration to this
type of forensic science. Tires leave tracks, it's a fact of
life. And, whether they be automobile tires, bicycle tires,
motorcycle tires, truck tires or any other tire, they can act
as the catalyst for a criminal conviction in a court of
law.
Forensic science can play a major role in establishing the
identity of an automobile or other vehicle and authorities have
banks of information, as well as tread samples, on everything
from car tires to shoes.
Take a peek at all the different tire tread patterns at
Forensic Tracks and you'll get a good look at Cooper Tires,
Pirelli Tires,
Dunlop Tires, Continental Tires, Goodyear Tires,
Hankook Tires
and a whole lot more.
As you'll see, there's a significant difference between
basic run-of-the-mill tires and mud tires or off road tires and
the same applies to atv tires, truck tires, bicycle tires and
so on.
Rex Grogan- Tire Guru and Expert Witness
One person who commonly gave evidence on tires was Rex
Grogan. For many years, Rex held prominent positions in Dunlop,
including management of their Tire Examination Laboratory. One
of his functions was to examine problems with returned tires
and this experience eventually seen him called many times as an
expert witness.
Rex has written numerous books, articles, papers and
lectures on tire-related forensic science, tire examination methods,
general motoring safety, reasons for tire failure and other
topics relating to rims, tires, wheels, etc. All of his work is

The Science of Black Round Things
 Tire companies spend millions on development and technology.
Creating the right tire for different conditions isn't as simple
as mmelting some rubber into a round shape and cutting some tread
into it.
Today's tires are the result of the implementation of
operational, business and strategic plans, consultation of
various information systems, continuous improvement strategies,
the constant development of teams and individuals, safe
workplace policies and risk management.
Somewhere a tire then rolls off the production line.
This development correlates with development of many new
cars, designed to drive on specific types of tires. It's a
science that gives maximum efficiency and can make the
difference between a car getting a good or bad review in motor
journals.
