| Description of the problem | Original tires on my hyundai tiburon-michelin pilot, hx mxm4 radial xse 215/45/17 developed sidewall bubbles at less then 1500 miles. Authorized michelin dealers said it was a common occurrence/complaint and company claimed it was a road hazard and not covered under the tire warranty. Tire dealers told me that on this type of tire the sidewalls cannot stand the stress of ordinary driving . *jb |
