Michelin x radial tires (80,000 mile tires) from sam's club I had 4 michelin x radial tires all purchased from sam's club on my Toyota Sienna. All 4 tires are defective. On 9/10/10 my Sienna's ride felt bumpy. I took it to my mechanic. He showed my where my rear driver side tire was separating due to the radial belt of the tire coming lose. I took my Sienna back to sam's club on 9/10/10. Sam's club also diagnosed the tire as defective and replaced it. On 9/28/10 my rear passenger side tire lost a radial belt while I was on I-75 traveling at 70 mph. I brought the tire back to sam's club on 9/29/10 and they diagnosed the tire as defective. On 10/1/2010 I took my Sienna to my mechanic for a safety inspection and alignment (since my alignment was thrown out when the tire stripped on the highway. ) my mechanic inspected my front tires and found multiple signs of defective radial belts in both front tires. My mechanic marked the peculiar wear on both tires with chalk. I replaced the front tires with a different brand. I tried to return the tires to sam's club because they were only three years old with less than 40,000 miles on them. Sam's club refused to take them back.
