Kathleen of Lake Geneva WI (02/23/09) We have a relatively new Ford Fusion 07 with Michelin tires on it. On 1/1/09 we experienced a sidewall blowout on the right front tire. The dealer said it was not warranted. Replaced it with same at the dealertire. Yesterday the left back tire blew. Same exact problem. The car is presently at the Ford dealer and I am online looking at all of these side tire failures, wondering about these reoccuring issues. The dealer just called to say not under warranty. My Michelin booklet says 6 years. I have placed a call to them. I would be happy to be contacted by others. I can hardly wait for the next tire to blow.

Rachel of Richton MS (02/21/09) Two Michelin tires popped on 2007 Mazda 6.
Over one thousand dollars to replace tires and ruined rim. Danger of serious physical injury. Time off from work to have repairs done.

Mike of Las Vegas NV (01/29/09) I have read all the articles complaining about the Michelin product. I am a very happy Michelin customer. All three of my vehicles have Michelin product and I wouldn't have it any other way. I own a 2003 Nissan 350Z with the Michelin PS2, a 2005 Infiniti FX35 with Michelin Latitude Touring, and a 1996 Toyota Tercel with BF Goodrich (a Michelin product) G-Force Sport. I have never had a problem. A number of the complaints listed are either road hazard based, neglect or time. Michelin x-rays every tire that leaves their plant for imperfections. That would catch nearly everything structurally wrong with the tire before it leaves the plant. Oh, and I do not work for Michelin.

Bill of Suwanee GA (12/22/08) I have a 2008 porsche that came with michelin polot sport tires, after 2300 miles the side wall of the tire is seperating and has an egg size bubble poking out, dealership was no help because I did not purchase thier over priced tire protection plan. The car is a bran new car and only had 14 miles when purchased, dealership claims i must have hit a curb, this is not the case I am the only one to ever drive the car and it has never hit anything, not even a pothole! How can one of the most respected tire company's and auto brands not help out with a 400 dollar tire that is defective after only 2300 miles
