I wish to lodge a complaint against michelin tire company. About 4,000 miles ago I installed two michelin 20560v16 front tires on my car. Yesterday, while parked, the sidewall of the front right tire (dot-m37r-jlfx-1106) simply burst leaving a 2-3 in. Gap. I had to replace both front tires in order not to have a tread imbalance. After a long and tedious telephone conversation with michelin customer service, they maintained, without checking the state of the tire, that this is not a manufacturing or other defect, and thus would not be covered by the standard manufacturer warranty. They added that it was due to misuse, since the tire was installed on a car!!! as if their manufacturing responsibility extends only to brand new tires while still in the shop, prior to installation on a car. They then offered "as a good will" (as they claim) only 30% reduction on tire replacement only (no reimbursement of labor associated with tire replacement), which I have refused, given the near-new state of the tire. Other than indicating that there may be a safety problem with these michelin tires, do I have a recourse against such a flagrant failure to honor a clear defect responsibility?.

The consumer stated there was a tire blowout on 2003 Honda Accord. The tires had a blowout within a couple of months of each other. The consumer had not talked to the tire manufacturer. She talked to the dealer. The dealer said that there were road hazards. The dealer replaced the first tire ,saying it was a defect. The other three tires were considered road hazards. They were the original tires that came on the car. The consumer has called the dealership. They said there was nothing they could do. The consumer bought new tires to put on car. The speed was about 30 mph.
Tire sidewall blowout. Honda won't warranty tires, michelin blamed it on "road hazard". No hazards encountered!.
I've had to replace each rear tire within the last 4 months of purchase due to mild contact with the curb. The tires were gashed and severely deflated. Had to get replaced.
While driving at approx 45 mph, my right rear tire blew out. There was nothing visible on the road that would cause this. I believe this is a tire related failure.
