The first time my two kids were along and they were scared to death, as you might imagine. The first blow out of the rear right back tire happened in May 2021 and caused more than $10,000 in damage to my vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11430898, filed 2021-08“Four Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires, size 255/50R19, were installed on my 2018 BMW X5 in May 2026.

About two weeks after installation, the vehicle was returned for alignment/service because of the handling concern, but the problem continued. The most serious incident occurred during a highway lane change on a downhill section. …”
