1 Tire Sidewall problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2009

Pep boys, definity tires, hx700, size p205/60hr16. I have had 2 different tires on my 2004 Honda Accord just lose air pressure. The first one while just sitting in my driveway just go flat. Filled it back up to proper pressure drove for a week or 2 and same thing happened, it just went flat. . . . . Then it happened a third time and took the car back to pep boys and they replaced it and has not happened since. . . . . At least to that tire and I have been closely watching them all. Until the other day. . . . . When a different one went down on me. . . . . . No punctures were found and the tire was replaced. I personally believe there is a sidewall defect with these tires. . . . . They are not strong enough and I mostly do interstate driving. Pep boys thought that there might be something wrong with my wheels, but when my first tire went down and I took it to them to be checked they dropped in the tub of water with no leaks. . . . . . And 1 of the technicians mentioned the sidewall which makes good sense. So that is that and I have 2 more tires that I am watching closely.

2 Tire Sidewall problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2005

I bought a new 2004 Honda Accord. I was driving it today when a softball size bubble appeared on the sidewall. A major Honda dealer said they had never seen anything like that. The local michelin dealer said it was not a defective tire. How can a softball size balloon just appear all of the sudden on the sidewall. If I had been traveling at 70 mph it might have killed me and my daughter. I want michelin to replace this tire and the other three free of charge and also inspect the thickness of sidewalls used on 2004 Honda Accord ex models. The tire had 20,000 miles on it. Speed rating on the tire is 91v size 260/16. I have digital pictures taken by the Honda dealer (hugh white Honda, columbus, OH.
