| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Steel belt breakage. caused bumpy ride and pull to right. my concern is that when i contacted michelin, they attitude was that their tires fail when the warranty expires. the tires have been cared for using ford requirements. the first tire to fail was in aug. 1999 and a local ford dealer helped with michrlin. at that time the car was under warranty. this time, two front tires failed at the same time. i have been told that michelin has stopped making this model tire. i wonder why. the tires have almost a quarter inch of tread left and are not worn funny. seems like junk tires to me. i replaced the michelin tires with cooper tires, which have never failed me. please check into michelin and perhaps auto manufacturers who use their products, which have a fixed life. thank you.( dot number: m3pa998x29 tire size: p205x65r15 ) |
