Consumer Description

AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES, ALL THE TIRES EXPERIENCED INTERNAL SEPERATION WHICH ALLOWED AIR PRESSURE TO PENETRATE BETWEEN THE LAYERS. THIS CAUSED BULGING WHICH WAS NOTICED BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE TIRES WERE REPLACED IT WAS NOTED THAT SOME TYPE OF PATCH WAS APPLIED INTERNALLY TO THE TIRES TO "OVERCOME" THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH THE TIRES, AS NOTED. MICHELIN SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES AT NO CHARGE AS THEY WERE IN DANGER OF IMMINENT FAILURE! AS IT WAS, WE HAD TO PAY OVER $ 400 TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. (DOT NUMBER: NOT KNOWN TIRESIZE: LT245/75 R)
