Michelin had a safety recall for dot b99y 56ex 3812-2113 of its ltx m/s p275/55r20 111t for "affected tires could have partial or full sidewall perforations that could cause them to experience loss of air pressure ' I purchased the ltx m/s p275/55r20 dot b79y 56ex 1913 made in the same time frame for my 2009 ford f-150 on 06/08/2013. On august 23, 2016, while on a 70mph highway, I suffered a blowout. The entire anterior sidewall was affected with many chunks of the tire missing, while the interior sidewall was totally unaffected. I am careful with my tire pressures and rotation. None of the tires show uneven or odd wear. I don't believe I ran over anything. I have all four tires in my possession and available for inspection. I think michelin has a greater problem than the dot range of their voluntary recall. I think the dot needs to be aware of this so that if this proves to be a more widespread problem, michelin can be required to recall all affected tires.

On 5/2/12 I went to my local ford dealer in manahawkin, nj to advise of cracking tires. These tires had only 19000 miles and were original equipment on my 2009 ford f150. They advised me to contact pirelli tire company. On 5/4/12 I contacted pirelli tire company via email and explained the problem. They advised me to go to a local pirelli dealer to have them inspected. On 5/8/12 I went to sbr tire exchange in manahawkin, nj to have them inspected. They confirmed the cracking problem and that the tires had 8/32 of tread left and the tires come with 12/32 new. They then contacted pirelli. Pirelli offered 60% toward a new set of pirelli tires. At first this sounded reasonable until I was advised that the tires would be sold at list price of $399.95 each before the discount. This came to 791.50 after the 60% discount with mounting and tax added. This is outrageous knowing the tires can be purchased for a similar price without the discount and same size comparable bf goodrich tires for less. Pirelli has clearly not stood behind a defective product that apparently has a common defect in that model tire. They are forcing me to purchase new tires after only 1/3 wear, years before they are needed because I am in fear for my safety and the safety of others. ## VIN passed ## ford f150 2009 ##.
