2007 NISSAN QUEST Tires Problems

NO SPARE TIRE PROVIDED WITH VEHICLE. TIRE WAS PUNCTURED AND COULD NOT DRIVE ON THE "RUN FLAT" TIRES. *TR

OUR TIRE WENT FLAT. WE FOUND OUT A "SPECIAL" DEALER HAD TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE TIRE & THERE WAS NO SPARE DUE TO US HAVING "RUN-FLAT" (MICHELIN PAX) TIRES. WE GOT A LIST OF THE ONLY 3 DEALERS AROUND OUR AREA THAT ARE CERTIFIED FOR THESE TIRES BUT WHEN WE CALLED THEM THEY TELL US THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED. NO BIG DEAL EXCEPT WE FIND OUT THIS RU-FLAT TIRE IS THE ONLY TIRE THAT CAN FIT ON THIS RIM!! & THIS RIM IS THE ONLY RIM THAT CAN FIT ON THIS VAN!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! SO I HAVE A FLAT TIRE & NOW MY VAN IS IMMOBILE & IRREPARABLE! *TR

VEHICLE WILL BOTTOM OUT BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN UTILIZING THE MICHELIN PAX TIRE CAUSING SCRAPING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. INCREASING THE LEVEL OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BURNS A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST PIPE THAT THEN HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH AGAIN CAUSES A BOTTOMING OUT AND SCRAPING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.. *TR

I PURCHASED NEW A 2007 NISSAN QUEST SE WITH THE MICHELIN PAX RUN-FLAT SYSTEM IN DECEMBER 2007. THIS CAR'S STICKER PRICE WAS OVER $41,000. IT NOW NEEDS NEW TIRES AT 32,000 MILES.WITH THIS SYSTEM, THERE IS ONLY ONE TIRE THAT CAN BE USED, AND VERY FEW DEALERS CARRY IT. ONLY ONE SHOP IN MY CITY CAN WORK ON THIS RIM/TIRE COMBO--THE HONDA STORE THEY REFUSE TO HELP BECAUSE THEY WORK ONLY ON HONDAS. I WAS ADVISED BY MICHELIN I NEED TO TRAVEL TO ALLIANCE, OH TO HAVE NEW TIRES INSTALLED ON MY VAN, A TRIP OF 70 MILES OR ONE HOUR. I WAS TOLD BY THIS SHOP THAT THE TIRES NEED TO BE ORDERED, THEY TAKE 5 WEEKS TO GET IN, AND THEY WOULD COST $1,550 FOR A SET OF FOUR INSTALLED. WHILE I FEEL THE PRICE IS TERRIBLE, MY REAL CONCERN IS THE 5 WEEK DELIVERY DELAY. WHAT DO...

I OWN A NISSAN QUEST WITH THE MICHELIN PAX RUN-FLAT TIRE SYSTEM. THE PAX RUN-FLAT TIRE SYSTEM IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2007. BY 13 MONTHS, AT 18,000 MILES, 2 OF THE TIRES HAD WORN TO THE POINT WHERE THE DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT 20,600 MILES WE HAD ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED. IN 32NDS OF AN INCH, SEARS MEASURED THE TREAD AT : LEFT FRONT - 1,0,0, RIGHT FRONT - 2,2,1, RIGHT REAR - 3,3,4, LEFT REAR WAS SIMILAR TO RIGHT REAR BUT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A NAIL IN IT. MICHELIN HAD TO COURIER A COMPLETE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO MY HOME ON THE NAILED TIRE BECAUSE THERE IS NO TIRE DEALER WITHIN 20 MILES OF US IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO THAT CAN WORK ON THE PAX TIRES OTHER THAN PERHAPS A HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD US THEY...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE VEHICLE HAS MICHELIN PAX (NA) TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RUN FLAT TIRE FLATTENED. RUN FLAT MEANS THAT THE TIRE CAN BE DRIVEN FLAT FOR 125 MILES; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DROVE 300 MILES.
