The run-flat tires start to make noise, and then one day begin to vibrate badly. The steel belts separate on the inside of the tire, and catastrophically fail with potential to cause an accident. We pull over and have the car towed to a dealer who replaces the tires. This happens every 10,000-30,000 miles. We have to buy new tires to replace all 4 tires.

2008 Toyota Sienna le, purchased new. At 5k miles 1/2 tread was gone on front tires per repair tech notes. At 15k front tires were 2mm inside and bald on the outside, and front brakes were at 1mm, rotors had to be replaced as well. Went back to dealership due to noise coming from brakes twice. Current mileage is 33k and the van needs new front tires and front brakes (rotor?); all recommended servicing was done (per owners manual) and is documented. This van has a permanent defect.

The tires are generally suppose to be good quality tires and should not experience wear and tear until at least 25,000 miles.

My wife was making a low speed right turn from leeland road (rt lane) onto deacon rd (left lane) in stafford county virginia when she simultaneously heard an "explosion" and felt a jolt coming from the driver's side front wheel. There is no curb or other obstructions in the intersection but after the "explosion" she was startled and lost control slightly grazing the curb on deacon road before regaining control. She managed to pull off into a safe area; my two children (ages 9 & 7) were also in the vehicle. Upon visual inspection of the tire, it appears that a side wall failure occurred. The vehicle my wife was driving is a new 2008 Toyota Sienna that has michelin energy lx4 tires on it, approximate miles on the vehicle/tires was approximately 10,200. My wife contacted michelin that evening and reported the incident; she was instructed to take the tire to ntb who is an authorized dealer. Ntb refused to honor the warranty citing the tire was "road damage" after a naked eye visual inspection. The ntb store we went to did not have the tire in stock and referred us to their other store. Upon arrival, it was obvious the "road damage" assessment was phoned ahead and the "mechanic" also would not honor the michelin warranty and accused my wife of lying and hitting a curb. I ended up having to pay $198. 73 out of my own pocket just to get a new tire put on for my wife. I have the tire in question in my custody, I would not let the tire store keep it; I also have photos.
