| Description of the problem | At 42,039 miles on a 2011 dodge grand caravan my wife experienced a suspicious blowout on a 225/65x17 michelin energy saver a/s tire with a 100t rating. The dot # is: m33t 00kx 1711. This is a 65,000 mile tire. No foreign objects were struck. The air pressure, tire rotations, and alignments were done in a timely fashion. I no longer felt safe on these tires and replaced all 4 with another brand. This was clearly a manufacturers defect. *jb |
