| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While traveling at approx. 35 miles per hour on a local bridge, my right rear tire blew out. i drove a distance of several yards to the end of the bridge where i was able to pull to the shoulder and stop. when a very kind police officer tried to remove the damaged tire, he had to stop because the tire had separated like a recapped tire and wound the torn part around the brake lines and axle. the damages and service charges are estimated to be more than six hundred dollars. initially, the service repairman at the tire store (where all of the tires were purchased and mounted) indicated that all four tires needed to be replaced because they showed signs of "dry-rot." a short time later, another worker said only the damaged tire needed to be replaced. there seems to be some problems with michelin tires sold within the last few years. *tr |
