Aug 2008, purchased 4 versado lx tires at 46851 miles. On 14 aug 2011, had a tire blow on right rear on I-16. There was $75 damage to car as the tire tore the factory mud guard from the fender. Tire was replaced for $53 under warranty at 77968 miles. On 10 oct 11, returned to dealer and found 2nd tire separating. Replaced for $73 under warranty at 79720. On 23 may 2012, 3rd tire was found to be separating at 84275 miles. I contacted toyo by email. Rep called my local tire dealer, raffield tire, and discussed issue. Dealer was told to re-inspect 4th tire closely while replacing the 3rd tire for $83 under warranty. It appeared to be ok. On 3 jul 12 the 4th tire was replaced for $79 under warranty at 85676. Had long discussion with toyo customer service. Was told there were "no known issues with this tire". Very funny that all 4 tires for my vehicle failed. Tire dealer does rotation/balance/check every 5000 miles. Wanted toyo to replace this tire at their cost due to all of the trouble I have had. Rep refused, stating that the government would not let them do any customer relief other than the limited warranty on tire. Otherwise, "they would be guilty of hiding defect information from the government". I cannot believe there are no known issues if all 4 of my tires failed. They also could not pay for the repair I had done in aug 2011 since the tire was not turned over to an independent 3rd party for analysis.

While driving on the freeway, noticed thumping noise coming from tires and vibration in the entire vehicle. Pulled over and noticed a large bulge on one of the tires and the bulge was on the treads. The tire store described this as tire tread separation. This happened twice on two separate occasions within three months while driving on the freeway. Two of the four toyo versado tires on my vehicle failed as a result of tread separation. The retail store where I originally purchased the tires gave me a credit towards the purchase of new tires. They kept the failed tires.

Please tell honda not to sell / manufacture defective wheel locks. My honda dealer sold be a honda odyssey van (brand new) with wheel locks. The wheel locks were manufactured by honda. The wheel locks have got stuck in the tire and impossible to take out. This became a safety issue as when the tire blew out, I and 3 different tow companies could not remove the wheel lock. The car had to be towed in to the dealer.

Michelin tires energy lx4 235/65/r16-103t-went in to dealer today for alignment. Said they could not do it as all 4 tires are separating on the insides. All 4 at once? This is on a 2005 honda odyssey van- this van has been maintained to the utmost. As a saleperson-I live in it. Also in the weekends I put some of my 10 grandchildren in it. The most valuable cargo anyone can have. Reason for the honda brand. Safety etc. I was in shock when told this took it to a local tire place got second opinion. I rotate tires every 2000 miles as I change oil every 1000 miles. This is very very upsetting as dangerous. As if I drive it they will blow. The steel belts are going to come through the inside sidewalls. What on earth!!! I would expect this from a fly by night company. But someone needs to do something before someone is killed with a blow out. I have been told michelin will do nothing as they have had other complaints and tires with the same problem. Not to waste my time even contacting them. Go right to this web site and let all know about then problem. Not just one size many many sizes of michelins with the same problems. God bless I found out without damage to my family or someone else's on the highway with me.

My wife was driving our 2005 honda odyssey (14500 miles) at 60 MPH on a smooth dry highway when the right rear tire exploded. The tire separated into three parts, left and right sidewall and tread. The tire was a michelin energy lx4 235-65-16, original equipment on the odyssey. Inflation pressure was normal, having been checked two days earlier. Temperature was approximately 65 deg. There were four women with their weekend luggage on board, certainly weighing less than the rated load of the vehicle and the tires. Since she was 200 miles from home, she had to buy another tire (off brand) at the nearest tire shop. The failed tire was later taken to discount tire in lake worth, tx for replacement with a correct tire.
