| Description of the problem | At 23000 miles my right outer duel michelin tire blew while traveling at 60 mph on i77. Ended up getting off highway and into a plaza where road service replaced the tire. It had a zipper rip in the sidewall tires still have 9/16" tread,were loaded with105# air pressure according to weight and michelins charts. Tires were always covered when not traveling (to protect from uvrays,)they had tire monitor system that showed normal pressure and temp. Tires are michelin 275/80r22. 5 x line energy 16 ply h rating with date code of 3316. Michelin rep (alvin) tells me they have had several that have had blowouts. Roda service had to put on a cooper 295/75r22. 5 tire as no michelins were avail. Now i'm out $900. 00 for a blowout on a michelin 4 year old tire |
