During a trip with 6 month old tires, two out of 6 tires failed. One was a deemed a road hazard by the manufacturer. Given these tires were purchased and installed on a tow vehicle with ratings for the vehicle and failed on a 75 degree day with a light mist. I would suspect that the tires are not capable of meeting the rated specs. The tires were purchased January from treadwright corp.
On 7/22/09 we purchased 2 new tires and had them installed on the front of our 2006 chevy 3500 crew cab dually. These were purchased because we were taking a 2000+ mile trip on 7/24. On 7/24 one of these new michelin tires lt 215/8516 ltz ms blew out - a complete tire failure, while we were on I-44 at high speed. No injuries and no other vehicles involved, but we report this in case it indicates a safety-related defect trend exists.
