DEAR SIR OR MADAM, I HAVE SEEN IN THE MEDIA THAT TIRES BEING INFLATED AND EXPLODE WHILE A PERSON IS ATTEMPTING TO INFLATE A TIRE OR WHILE INFLATING THE TIRE. THIS HAPPENS ON CAR TIRES ALSO. PEOPLE SOMETIMES REST THEIR HEAD UP AGAINST THE TIRE OR ARE REAL CLOSE TO THE TIRE WHEN THEY INFLATE THEIR TIRES. I THINK SOME TYPE OF WARNING SHOULD BE POSTED SOMEWHERE ON THE VEHICLES TO ALERT PEOPLE THAT TIRES HAVE EXPLODED AND HAVE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHILE INFLATING A TIRE. YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR HEAD AND BODY AWAY FROM THE TIRE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO INFLATE OR WHILE INFLATING A TIRE. I AM NOT SURE OF THE DATES BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING MORE THAN ONCE. I AM NOT SURE OF THE TIRE BRAND. I CAN'T PUT ANY DEATH AMOUNTS BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW. I CAN NOT PUT ANY INJURIES BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW. I AM PUTTING JAN. 30, 1973 BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW THE DATE THAT THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED. *TR
