| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There are approx 200 members in our rv motorhome club. at least 25 have experienced blowouts. michelin blames this on "incorrect pressure" or "you must have hit something". but none of this is true. all of the tire failures are a zipper type blowout, and almost all of the tires were produced prior to may, 1998 when michelin alledgedly had a redesign to the tire sidewall. many, many other people that do not belong to our club report similar tire failures. it appears that this michelin tire problem is affecting a much higher percentage than the recent firestone passenger car tire fiasco. most of us owners would really like to have this looked into before any more people get hurt or killed. please help us! the problem appears to be the tires, not the particular brand of rv motorhome. *ak (tiresize: 23580r22.5) |
