Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Michelin ltx m/s p23575r15 failed while driving. left front tire unexpectedly failed while traveling on the highway. two ruptures occurred on the side wall of the tire. both ruptures were radial, each 3-4 inches long and approx. 18 inches apart. no apparent obstacles were encountered prior to the incident and the tire previously appeared in good condition. i question if this is a manufacturing defect. the tire retailer considers the failure caused by "road hazard". i disagree and would like an independent inspection. *ak (tiresize: p23575r15)
