That they only used one possible case to demonstrate their was a problem while laying no foundation for the event in question (how was the van loaded, what condition were the tires in, how many miles did the tires have) doesn't sit well with me. I believe they stated in the video that the tires were 4 years old when purchased and 9 years old at the time of the accident. For the average American passenger vehicle that would equate to around 75k miles on the tires at the time of the accident.
Maybe old tires are the problem the report makes it out to be, but the shitty reporting calls that contention in to question for me.

Yes they could have given more info, and it would have been nice to see pics of the other tires since they showed pics of the van.
Tires that are 4 years old should fine for a trip.
