TWO SEPARATE TIRE FAILURES FROM SAME BRAND/TYPE OF ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES, FIRST: JANUARY 22, 2003, SECOND: APRIL 28, 2003 BOTH WERE SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS. THE FIRST, ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL IN JANUARY 2001, DID NOT POSE A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE. HOWEVER, THE 2ND, ONLY THREE MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST, OCCURRED ON A DIFFERENT WHEEL (RIGHT REAR) AT 60 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A CONGESTED PORTION OF I-95 NEAR MILFORD, CT. THE LATTER CLEARLY POSED A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO US, AND TO ALL OTHER VEHICLES ON THIS HEAVILY-TRAFFICKED INTERSTATE. I DID NOT REPORT THE FIRST BLOWOUT, BELIEVING THAT PERHAPS I HAD HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROAD. BUT THE SECOND BLOWOUT OF SAME BRAND/VINTAGE TIRE, THIS TIME ON REAR RIGHT SIDE, INDICATES A LIKELY SAFETY DEFECT IN THIS EXPENSIVE MICHELIN TIRE. *NLM
WHILE DRIVING AT 60MPH FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLEWOUT, CAUSING CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. DEALER NOTIFIED. SIZE 25540ZR17 PLEASE PROVIDE THE DOT#.*AK

TIRE DISINTEGRATED. TREAD SEPARATED COMPLETELY FROM SIDEWALLS, LEAVING ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF SIDEWALL ON RIM.*AK (TIRESIZE: 215/55HR16)
4 TIRES BUBBLED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
ONE FLAT, ONE BLOWOUT AND FOUR SEVERE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURES (INCLUDES THE FLAT AND BLOWOUT. OUT TEMPERATURES WERE BELOW 30F. OEM TIRE EXPERENCED SEVERE 50% LOSS OF PRESSURE.
FRONT END VIBRATION CAUSING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY BY IGNORING WHAT MAY BE A SAFETY DEFECT. *AK
TIRES ARE CUPPING, RESULTING IN HEAVY WEAR, NOISE AND VIBRATION. CAUSE IS IMPROPER ALIGNMENT OR SUSPENSION WEAR. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO REQUEST FOR CORRECTION. (TIRESIZE: P20555R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P20555R16 )
DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO BALANCE THESE TIRES ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN PAST 4 MONTHS WITHOUT SUCCESS.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205/55/16 )
I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 6 MONTHS, AND HAVE HAD NO COLLISIONS OR OTHER UNUSUAL IMPACTS TO TIRES. AFTER ONLY 800 MILES OF SERVICE, MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A BULGING KNOT IN THE SIDEWALL. DEALER INSPECTED THE TIRE AND COULD FIND NO INDICATION OF "IMPACT" INJURY SO TIRE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AS VEHICLE WAS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD. NOW I HAVE DISCOVERED 3 MORE OF THE TIRES (LF, RF & RR) HAVE DEVELOPED SIMILAR BULGING KNOTS IN THE SIDEWALL, ONE OF WHICH IS THE TIRE THAT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT 800 MILES. I DRIVE ONLY ON PAVED CITY STREETS, AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED TIRE FAILURES OF THIS TYPE ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED, SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION IS DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS.*AK( DOT NUMBER: DMCE22D TIRE SIZE: 255/40ZR17 )
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
