Failure Date: 01/28/2004

I have had excessive tread wear in 2 years versus actual driven mileage for my michelin energy mxv4 +, 205/55hr16 tires. The tire manufacturer refuses to live up to the 50,,000 mile warranty. Driving these tires with any moisture on the road has caused many near miss accidents. They are dangerous for the consumer to have on their car and a government inquiry should be performed to judge whether they are the subject of a recall.
