4 of the original tires have had tread separation over the last 2 years. I still have three of the tires, the fourth was kept by a ford dealer who helped me out after the first failure. We have been lucky since we found the problems before blowouts happened.*ak (dot number: m3pa998x tiresize: 205/65r15)

Pe00020; original equipment on ford, taurus 1995, 205/65r15. Both front tires' tread separated, not at the same time.consumer almost lost control of vehicle. Also, belts had separated, and there was a big bubble. A few weeks later, same thing happened with other tire. These were the two front tires.
Pe00 020; consumer was traveling about 50mph on highway and heard a nois. Vehicle started to vibrate, and left rear tire tread separated. Lost control of vehicle. But, she was able to steer vehicle to the shoulder. Tire was still inflated. Firestone, p205/65r15925m/f #dot hyurf6a-336.
The tread came off while I was driving causing damage to my car. This firestone tire was not on the recall list. It was not on the list by the federal safety agency that was updated on 9-1-00. Thank you for your time.( dot number: hyurf6a tire size: p205/65r15 )

Steel belt breakage. Caused bumpy ride and pull to right. My concern is that when I contacted michelin, they attitude was that their tires fail when the warranty expires. The tires have been cared for using ford requirements. The first tire to fail was in aug. 1999 and a local ford dealer helped with michrlin. At that time the car was under warranty. This time, two front tires failed at the same time. I have been told that michelin has stopped making this model tire. I wonder why. The tires have almost a quarter inch of tread left and are not worn funny. Seems like junk tires to me. I replaced the michelin tires with cooper tires, which have never failed me. Please check into michelin and perhaps auto manufacturers who use their products, which have a fixed life. Thank you.( dot number: m3pa998x29 tire size: p205x65r15 )
