| Tire Sidewall problems |
Hello NHTSA, on 05/15/26, I was driving on [xxx] southbound when the sidewall of my michelin x line energy z steer axle tire failed and blew out. The tire was purchased on 12/23/25 and was made in [xxx] . When the tire blew, dark thing spread onto the hood, bumper, and side of my truck. I have attached images and videos showing the damage and the failed tire. Thankfully, I was driving at about 55 mph, remained in control of the vehicle, and no one was injured. The tire tread was still in excellent condition at the time of the incident. For safety reasons, I was forced to replace both steer tires immediately. I have also attached the invoice along with the photos and videos I recorded. Thank you. P. S. I was unable to upload/download the video file successfully.
