Authorities mentioned the possibility of issues with the vehicle’s tires, but they did not say anything about if they investigated a possible defect. Frankly, it would be more surprising if they did. Authorities are rarely trained or equipped to examine tires or other parts that may cause a crash due to a defect. It usually takes more thorough independent investigations to rule out or confirm something like that. If authorities here were more thorough behind the scenes and did do a proper investigation, it would certainly be the exception.
