Tire Blowout problems of the 2002 Toyota Tundra

Below you will read my complaint to michelin about the quality. The sidewall blew completely off the rim while traveling at a legal speed of 70 mph. This should not happen with a premium tire made by the above company. It only had a puncture which caused it to lose air. This was verified by the dealer of discount tire in santa fe. He did tell me that now tires fail immediately when they lose pressure and blow apart. This should not happen! you should at least be able to slow the car down to examine the tire. With this happening, they are exempt from replacing the tire as a failure and get away with selling you a new tire pro rated!! how convenient!! these tires will kill someone if they haven't already. See below my response to michelin and discount tire. It had half it's tread left!! ok. . . . . . . . . . . . . So I am under the 6 year limit and the tire did have a puncture as told to me by the selling manager. The fact that the tire blew apart signifies to me that it was a defective tire. I have had many flats in my 66 years and never saw a tire come apart like this one. By the way, it was in a matter of seconds. I have attached photos of the tire for you to see and I will contact the dealer to see what he has to say. I can tell you this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . If this is the best explanation you have for a premium tire, I will not put another set of you tires on any of my vehicles. I will also do my best to inform the general public of your policies. I would expect more from a company that I have had a long standing relationship. Too bad. . . . . . . . . . . I see it as a sign of the times!!.
