A federal appeals court has ordered Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. to release hundreds of documents on the design and construction of its tires.
A Cooper tire blew out during a 2005 van crash that killed eight Utah State University students and their instructor.
The Findlay, Ohio, company says it makes good tires and blames the Sept. 26, 2005, crash on high speed, overloading and tire under-inflation.
Lawyers for families of the crash victims say previously disclosed company documents raise questions about the integrity of Cooper tires.
