Description of the problem | I have the original tires for my brand 2013 lexus rx350 bought at lens stolers (owings mills md) in july 2013. The michelin tire p235/60r18 dot b9xf rpnx 1512 should be recalled.. Tire started showing wear with a split in right front passenger sidewall we suspected dryrot with less then 25k miles. Took to lens stolers, and was told it was not defected tire. Readdress again with lens stoler in august by phone since the split had become a gash of tire missing. (see pictures) dealership again denied defect. Went to replace tires on november 2, 2015 at a reputable place... They said tire were defected and to go back to my dealership. Left there and went back to lens stolers who still denied defect and told me to call michelin since tires were theirs. I told them the tires came with my brand new car purchase there. They sent me to ntb for michelin deals with them for prorates. Ntb established all 4 tires were dryrotted. I saw several recalls however my dot was not included. But clearly these tire michelin p235/60r18 dot b9xf rpnx 1512 should be recalled. |
