A tire can pass its tread depth check and still be the one that fails.
5 Questions With… is a short interview series featuring people working at the edge of their industry. One guest, five focused questions, no filler.
In this episode, we sit down with William Estupinan, VP of Technical Service at GITI Tire USA. With 35 years in the automotive and tire industry, he brings a manufacturer's perspective on what keeps tires safe and what puts them at risk.
William clears up a tire pressure misconception that trips up even seasoned technicians and explains why a single tread reading can miss the problem that matters most, the kind that doesn't show up until a tire is already in trouble.
He also gets into what heavier EVs (Electric Vehicles) are demanding from their tires, and gives a blunt, no-hype read on where smart tires and digital inspections are headed.
