I bough 04 michelin green x- tires(215-70-r15) on feb/09/2016 a 90,000 miles tires guarantee in puerto rico. I just used the tires 1,594 miles ,(four months later ) I had a blowout on the outer sidewall of the rear right drive side of the tire.when I check I had a big hole in the outer sidewall of my tire.there were no nails,glass or other debris responsible for these.the store replaced that tire with a ecopia-ep422 plus,because they don't have available a new michelin-x tire. I'm afraid to drive my honda crv on long trips,neither on highthways at high speed for fear of the tread injuries on from causing of the tires,because when my tire blowout I was driving at 25miles

The spare tire included with the new vehicle was mounted and used on approximately 6/20/01. On 6/29/01 the tire tread became separated from the rest of the tire while the vehicle was in motion. The tread separation caused vehicle body damage. Tire was submitted to manufacturer for adjustment. A paralegal for the manufacturer stated 'sorry' and declared that an 'impact break' was responsible for tread separation and I was denied compensation for the tire replacement and vehicle damage. Additional info and photo's are available.*ak (dot number: emytcaf207 tiresize: p205/70r15)

Five tires are original equiptment at time of purchase. The tire that failed was only in use since aproximately january 27, 2001. The mileage on the spare is under 6000 of daily city driving and about five trips of over 240 miles. The failed tire lost its entire tread like a banana peeling on a california interstate 5 northbound and was not recovered. The tread caused damage to the right front wheel well and bumper and right door panel. For reasons that only our god almighty knows, the tire did not blow out and the steel thread held in place. Neither the honda dealership or bridgestone dealer at sears store had any warnings on this bridgestone tire model experiencing tread separation. I have done some limited internet checking regarding firestone/bridgestone tires but have not found this model on any list as yet. I share this information so that if any other incidents with this model arise or have already been shared, this product should be scrutinezed for safety hazard concern. The tire was properly inflated. The sears representative will report the incident to bridgestone for resolution of tire failure. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me. Thank you very much.*ak (dot number: elytcaf017 tiresize: 205/70r15)
