I had a major tire blowout, while on the highway, to my left rear tire. Without warning, suddenly my car was out of control, then I heard a loud boom; looked in my rear view mirror and saw a ton of black smoke. I did my best getting off the freeway, and ended up in an unsafe location on the freeway, frightened for my life, waiting for help for over an hour. All four of my tires were recently replaced; April 2014. This was a very scary experience, and I feel lucky to be alive. The tire ripped apart from the seam; which was obviously caused by a defective tire. It's horrible that consumers lives are at risk. We rely on the experts, and they put our lives at risk. You think when you buy new tires, your safe and your not!! my tires were purchased, and replaced by the car dealer.
I bought 4 brand new tire michelin at town fair tire with external warranty 3 years. After 7 months the left front tire was spilt on the side depp but tire is. Not flat yet. I ask the store to exchange because it can cause dangerous accident but they said we can exchange as long as your tire is not totally flat. I don't know which institution of government can impose this business to save the client for what they paying for. I can show photo to my tire as a prove and if this front tire can flat in high way , it will course big accident. It is not fair to pay 1300$ tire with extra warranty and the store tire give a respond like" die first and after get reimbursement". Thank you.
