Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 29, 2016 I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE TRUCK ON A HIGHWAY WHEN MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUFFERED A COMPLETE TREAD SEPARATION. IT SEEMED TO JUST EXPLODE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, BUT A DAMAGE REPORT WAS FILLED OUT BY THE HIGHWAY PATROL. THIS WAS A MICHELIN LTX A/T2 TIRE WITH ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES ARE 5 YEARS OLD.THESE TIRES ARE WARRANTIED FOR 60,000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. AFTER 20,000 MILES I HAD ONE OF THE TIRES REPLACED BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT SEPARATE, BUT THE OTHERS SEEMED ALRIGHT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE PROBABLY $2000 OR MORE WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. IT KNOCKED THE HEADLIGHT OUT, RIPPED OFF THE RUNNING BOARD, TORE OUT THE INNER FENDER, BENT THE FENDER AND PUT A DENT IN THE BOTTOM OF MY DOOR. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT MICHELIN, BUT WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.
