| Purchased new 2007 acura rdx in july 2007 with michelin pilot tires. on 5/5/08 with less than 14,000 miles, experienced sidewall blowout on i-270 in maryland while traveling under the speed limit (traffic). purchased new tire at acura. i was told it was caused by running over something in the road (which i don't recall doing). 8/22/08 noticed another tire was low on air. there was a small hole in the tread area so the tire was repaired at local shop. again was told i ran over something. on november, experienced blowout with a large hole in the sidewall while traveling at highway speed on i-70 in maryland. brought car to acura again and was told i was just unlucky and again, ran over something in the road. at this point, i had now replaced two tires and had a third repaired. on december 5, i drove to pennsylvania. the car sat parked all day. at night, when i went out, the remaining two original tires were both flat. i had to stay overnight and wait until morning. i found a local tires plus an purchased four new bridgestone tires as i did not feel the michelins were safe. in 17 months, with 22,000 miles on the vehicle, i have purchased 6 tires and spent over $1400. i drive mostly highway on well maintained and heavily traveled roads. i don't speed or drive recklessly. the vehicle is kept in my garage overnight and had been serviced regularly at acura. in over 30 years of driving, i have only had one other flat tire. i have had 4 in 7 months. all 4 of the original michelin tires gave out. i am fortunate that i was not injured but i am convinced the tires are defective and dangerous. *tr | |||
