| Description of the problem | Michelin had a safety recall for dot b99y 56ex 3812-2113 of its ltx m/s p275/55r20 111t for "affected tires could have partial or full sidewall perforations that could cause them to experience loss of air pressure ' i purchased the ltx m/s p275/55r20 dot b79y 56ex 1913 made in the same time frame for my 2009 ford f-150 on 06/08/2013. On august 23, 2016, while on a 70mph highway, i suffered a blowout. The entire anterior sidewall was affected with many chunks of the tire missing, while the interior sidewall was totally unaffected. I am careful with my tire pressures and rotation. None of the tires show uneven or odd wear. I don't believe i ran over anything. I have all four tires in my possession and available for inspection. I think michelin has a greater problem than the dot range of their voluntary recall. I think the dot needs to be aware of this so that if this proves to be a more widespread problem, michelin can be required to recall all affected tires. |
