I have reviewed the "showing" proffered in connection with plaintiffs' attempt to admit evidence of the failure of the other three tires. I agree that this "showing" is lacking in several material respects. While it does show, at least circumstantially, that all four tires came with the car upon original purchase, it does not show that the circumstances (e.g., place, condition, nature of defect, etc.) of each prior failure were sufficiently similar to those of the failure of the subject tire. For this reason, the trial court is not to be held in error for rejecting the admission of evidence relating to the prior failures.
