While driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee on the interstate at 70 mph, the low tire warning light came on. Less than a mile later, my left rear tire blew and the wheel cut into the tire effectively destroying the tire. All that was left of the tire was a rubber band around the wheel and 25% of one sidewall. The remaining rubber pieces were strewn across the interstate. Luckily, I was driving down a straight stretch of road with no vehicle traffic close, so I was able to get my vehicle safely to the road shoulder. If this incident had occurred on a steep curve, in heavy traffic, etc, the incident could have created a dangerous, even life-threatening, situation. When the tire fell apart, it damaged my side panel, rear fender, and blew of my bumper. I put on the spare, tied on my bumper, and drove to the tire store where these tires had been purchased a couple of years prior. The tires had 40,000 miles on them. They are warranted for 65,000 miles. The tire store mailed the damaged tire to michelin for their analysis. I was surprised when I was told by a rep at this tire store that michelin no longer made this particular tire because, as he understood it, they had known quality issues with it. Michelin examined and ascertained that the tire was a "run flat" and therefore they did not cover either the replacement of the tire or the $1800+ of damage. While glad to be alive and uninjured, I am shocked and very, very disappointed in michelin's response.

During the week of 10/18/00 I was returning from a business trip. I was traveling west in the driving lane of I-80 at approximately 2:45 am. In front and behind me were semi trucks and, in the passing lane, was a car. Suddenly I heard an "explosion" and my vehicle slammed to the pavement and veered sharply to the right, toward the shoulder. After nearly losing control of the vehicle I was able to pull to a stop on the berm of the road. The passenger front tire had literally disintegrated and the vehicle was resting on the rim. After returning home I inspected the tire and felt it was a manufacturing defect. I contacted firestone and was told that they had received no other complaints about this model tire. After some negotiating they agreed to replace the tire which blew out as well as the remaining three tires. I explained to them that, since the incident, I was experiencing some difficulties with the steering. They refused to do more than replace the tires. After they replaced the tires I took the Jeep to a repair shop and found it had a broken front-end suspension part, which I had replaced. I feel this happened at the time of the incident. Additionally, I took photos of the tire which disintegrated and have them available on jpg format, if you wish to have them. I feel that firestone, inc. Lied to me about having no complaints regarding this model tire. If I had not pushed the issue I would have been riding on three other of the same model tires. I put approximately 20,000 miles per year on my vehicle and I feel firestone tried to deliberately cover up what they knew was an ongoing problem. Thank you( dot number: tire size: 70r16 ).
