Complaint concerns the michelin tire no. 2255516 mxm4 95v that blew out on the sidewall while traveling at a normal rate of speed of 45 to 50 miles per hour. The tire had only been used for 30,634 miles and the blow out occurred on a highway. The blowout occurred at an area on the side of the tire that looked like a seam with the threads showing. Because the tire flattened almost immediately, this would seem to be a threat to life if the vehicle were traveling at a higher rate of speed. Also, the michelin tire is give a high consumer rating and this should--by all reports--not be happening. Thank you for your timely response.

For the past few years I have noticed a strong smell of gasoline in the garage when I fill-up my car. I got into the practice of filling-up only 3/4 of the tank and the smell of gas was less noticeable then. For the past week I have noticed the smell of gas is very strong no matter how much gas in the tank. I am very concerned. The gasoline smell gives me a headache and I am sure is not good for my health and could lead to a possible explosion. I think the manufacturer should recall and fix this defect.
