| 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.

| In the last 18 months, three of these tires have failed on my van. the first was a blowout through the tread area with loss of tread estimated to be 4 by 8-10. the second was tread separation with loss of a 2by 4 section of tread, third tire has suffered a tread separation approximately 24 incles long by 3-4 wide. i did not record the dot number information on the first tire. the last two failed tires show dot md11 exov 305.

| Complete tread separation suddenly occurred on ny turnpike. all 6 tires on this vehicle were replaced with this brand about 10000 miles ago. concerned about possible failure of the other tires. since these are not in recall, do i have to replace all at own expense? any recourse for me toward manufacturer? failure certainly was unusual and scary but did not result in injury. we had to replace both tires on rear right but have not yet replaced the other four.reii( dot number: tire size: 225/75r16m ) | |||
