Description of the problem	I was traveling with 2 small children on a straight way on hwy and the front tire blew in the sidewall of my michelin tire. I was pulled across the other lane into a ditch striking a stone culvert after going airborne. I had purchased a set of michelin tires and they were a 70,000 mile tire and had 23,000 miles on them when this occurred. After investigation it was determined a blowout as there was no damage to wheel indication of road hazard that would have caused this type of damage to tire. In other words, the tire and wheel were in perfect condition other that the blown part in the sidewall and if i would have hit something hard enough to cause the tire that type of damage, they said it would have definitely affected my wheel. The tire had to be defective as there is reports are all over internet that these incidents are occurring with michelin tires. Buyer beware! My car was a total loss. I am without work and without a car now.
