Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car (2002 honda 2 door coupe) is less than 1 year, 10 months to be exact. while driving less than 30 mph, experienced a bubble. dealer said to call michelin, which was done. tires are less than a year old yet even with a "warranty" are not covered. i question what exactly is a warranty, if tires less than a year old bubbleand are not covered? i was also informed that i caused the bubble by driving too fast or hitting a pot hole or rock. i have a clear license, never been pulled over for speeding, and never have had an accident. i feel this should not have happened now or even 2 years from now. these tires only have 16,500 miles. michelin refuses to cover costs of replacement, which is not the real issue. god forbid i was in an accident due to the tire failure, who would be responsible? it's a question of credibility which apparently michelin tires is not willing to accept that they are in fact responsible for the defects in their tires. dt
