We now live in a society where that approach is typical.
An example is, people that can only navigate to a destination if they have GPS to guide them. Many can't read a paper map. Most have no idea what a topo map is showing them.
While it is drifting away from the subject of tire failure, I certainly can agree with you about the maps (charts if you are an aviator or sailor). I obtained my private pilot license in 1978 and had to learn aeronautical charts (mostly sectionals, and also WAC charts) and have no difficulty with a printed map. Possibly this is why I am seeing such large stacks of printed state maps at welcome stations. Its not that the state budget increased for printing maps, its that fewer and fewer people take them, because they just don't know what they are.
