My mother n law has had to replace (6) six michelin 225/60r/17 98t (lxr?) tires in the last eight months at great cost even though she has purchased a road hazard additional warranty. The original tires were not even out of warranty. 1 tire is understandable, 2 is questionable and 6 is a problem. She bought full set of michelin 225/60r/17 98t energy lx4 white walls on oct. 06,2009. 1 had flat on Jan 12,2010. Different tire from 10/06/2009 purchase had "cotter key or pin" it was replaced at a cost of $69. 84 on Jan 30, 2009 she purchased 2 michelin 225/60r/17 98t lxr (lxr is what the receipt displays under "description") at a cost of $280. 16. She didn't have further back receipts in hand but does have them> for why 2 tires should be replaced instead of needing full set. She has her tires rotated and balanced on schedule every 6 to 8 thousand miles like recommended. She also stated as an after thought that she has to put air in them every week to maintain her suggested psi for optimal performance as suggested by manufacturer. The "cotter key or pin' tire she has photos of this tire, documenting the tire failure. I started this with an email to michelin which they promptly responded too. I have since(am today) sent them another email, giving them more info on the dealers where she bought the tires etc. . . Thanks for your time and considerations and keeping us safe.

Starting in March 2001 I started to regularly get flat tires during my warranty period but thought nothing of it. In Nov 2001 I had a blowout on the expressway at 60mph and almost lost control of my car and crashed. It was not until recently when a tire retailer told me this was common knowledge by Ford and tire dealers. The aluminum rims have a cheap, thin chrome coating inside and carode and peel causing slow leaks. This is very potentially fatal on the highway. I tried to get Ford to look at it but they dont care. They told me even though it started in my warranty period I would have to pay them $150 because my warranty period was over. Do I have to die????????? please recall all these rims!!!!!! on sat 8-30-03 I had a flat in brooklyn and was stranded for 2hrs until a service changed my donut. Whem my tire was repaired they showed the rim to me. The chrome coating was peeling in large pieces. They grinded the rims and coated them with someting and told me it will be temporary. Do we have to wait for someone to have a blowout on the highway and get killed?????please do something.
