Tire Sidewall Problems of Chrysler Cirrus

Large hole appeared in sidewall of tire on my daughter's car when tire contacted curb while parking, causing tire blowout. Garage mechanic states that tire appeared to be flawed and prone to such catastophic blowout. This is a serious situation which could easily have been tragic if contact with curb had occurred while traveling at higher speed. I request that an urgent review of this tire be conducted, especially if there have been other similar occurrences. Tire involved was michelin mx4, all season, p195/65r15, m+s.

Consumer heard a loud noise coming from the driveway where the vehicle was parked. The front passenger tire had blown out. Since purchase, there had been three blow outs in the sidewalls of each tire, followed by a noticeable bubble in the sidewall while the vehicle was stationary (kumho tire).

We travevelled from our ontario canada residence to our florida residence on November Friday November 3, 2000. A few days prior to the trip, we had our vehicle serviced which included rotation and balancing of the michelin tires. On our return, we put our vehicle in for service again on November 21, 2000 and we were advised that 3 of the 4 miichelin tries had developed cracked sidewalls and were unsafe to drive. On contacting, michelin they admintted the tires were defective but stated their policy was manufacturer list less 20% which amounted to $107 per tire for the 4 tires. My concern that 3 out othe 4 tires being cracked and unsafe were ignored. The tread wear measured on the tires was 6/32 versus a brand new tire at 9/32. They admitted that the tires had been rotated, balanced and were not worn. I believe michelin has far greater problems with the mx4 plus than they care to admit. We have filed a complaint wiht michelin via the web and with Chrysler canada. (tiresize: p19565 15)( dot number: tire size: p19565 15 ).
