| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have experienced 3 tire blowouts within 1 year with my michelin tires. i own a 2002 honda accord with only 19,000 miles & cannot believe that i have had to incur the cost of replacing 3 out of 4 brand new tires within a 1-year period. the first incident was nov. 2002, the 2nd on oct. 2, 2003 & the 3rd on oct. 9, 2003. it appears that these tires are not manufactured up to normal safety standards since they have caused 3 blowouts from usual road hazard conditions. michelin claims the blowouts are not covered under the warranty since the damage was due to a road hazard. why are these high-profile & very expensive tires not manufactured to perform under normal road hazard conditions? these blowouts could have caused serious injury to my and/or others if i had been traveling at a high rate of speed and/or on a major highway. luckily, all 3 incidents occured on local roads & i was able to pull off the road safely and call emergency road service for help. i firmly believe that michelin should be willing to reimburse me for the cost of replacing the tires, having them balanced and for the distress and anxiety i had to indure during these incidents. *la |
