Consumer Description

THERE IS A SERIOUS AN DEADLY PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE MICHELIN TIRES SPECIFIED FOR THE 2007 (AN OTHER) CORVETTE Z06. THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE COMPLETELY COLLAPSES WHILE EXECUTING A SHARP TURN EITHER GOING FORWARD OR BACKING UP. DETAILED DISCUSSION WITH SUPPLIER DISCOUNT TIRE AND SECOND HAND COMMUNICATION WITH THE MICHELIN LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT MICHELIN AND DISCOUNT TIRE ARE BOTH AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE ABSOLUTE FACT IS THE TIRES DO COLLAPSE WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN. IF ONE MAKES A SHARP TURN WITH ANY SPEED OR ACCELERATION WILL CAUSE THE TIRE'S SIDEWALL TO COLLAPSE. DANGER DANGER DANGER!!! THE HOME LINK SYSTEM ALSO DOES NOT WORK AND I GOT THE RUN AROUND FOR YEARS WITH NO ACTION TAKEN. *TR
