Catastrophic centrifugal explosion of a firestone affinity touring tire while travelling on a congested interstate highway at a fairly high rate of speed (65mph). The force of the explosion tore off the bumper valance, bumper cushion, belly pan, inner fender wells, fender skirt, fender to body mounts and damaged the fender and same-side door. The debris showered into traffic. Tire was purchased new at a firestone dealer in 2014 and had 26k miles according to the figure on warranty. It had no injuries and was never repaired.

On the 28th of may I was traveling 60 MPH (the speed limit) and my back passenger tire blew out and I lost control of my car. I stopped when the back passenger corner rammed into a cement railing. The back bumper, side paneling, wheel tire and trunk hood were all damaged and needed to be replaced. I do not know what caused the tire to blowout.

We purchased 4 new tires from merchant tires in thomasville, nc on 7/7/07. On 9/8/08 we had to replace a tire because of a valve stem failure which the company didn't tell us. The tire had a bulge on the side wall because they were low profile tires and my wife didn't notice the tire was low because of the valve stem. From her driving on the tire it caused the side wall damage. My wife tried fix a flat but she said the valve stem was barley hanging on so she could use fix a flat. After that incident a week later on 9/14/08 I had to take another tire to merchants to get fixed and this time it wasn't damaged and I was told by merchants it was a valve stem and that was all it needed. Today 10/10/08 I noticed a warning issue on merchants website issued because of dill valve stems. I asked them how do I get a refund for the tire I had to replace because of the tire. He informed all complaints need to go to dill air controlled products. So I found this form on another internet site with people having the same issues. So now I want someone to refund my money for the purchase of my new tire that I had to buy which was caused by the faulty valve stems.

I wish to lodge a complaint against michelin tire company. About 4,000 miles ago I installed two michelin 20560v16 front tires on my car. Yesterday, while parked, the sidewall of the front right tire (dot-m37r-jlfx-1106) simply burst leaving a 2-3 in. Gap. I had to replace both front tires in order not to have a tread imbalance. After a long and tedious telephone conversation with michelin customer service, they maintained, without checking the state of the tire, that this is not a manufacturing or other defect, and thus would not be covered by the standard manufacturer warranty. They added that it was due to misuse, since the tire was installed on a car!!! As if their manufacturing responsibility extends only to brand new tires while still in the shop, prior to installation on a car. They then offered "as a good will" (as they claim) only 30% reduction on tire replacement only (no reimbursement of labor associated with tire replacement), which I have refused, given the near-new state of the tire. Other than indicating that there may be a safety problem with these michelin tires, do I have a recourse against such a flagrant failure to honor a clear defect responsibility?

Michelin energy mxv4 plus tires with radial xse size p205/65r15 oem tires on honda accord ex v6. Vehicle is kept to date on maintenance, regularly rotated, balanced, air checked. Car is handled conservatively and tire has low miles. Driver has clean driving record. 1) these tires have been the cause of a constant, harrowing hydroplaning on any wet or iced surfaces over the last 4 years. 2) two tires had side walls blown on negligible shallow pot-holes on different occasions, in 2005, and in aug.2006. 3) latest surprise: now at 23,000 miles, 2 front tires threads are completely worn, and back tires also worn enough to warrant replacement. At 23,000 miles! These tires are defective safety hazards and should be recalled.
