“I have 41,000 miles and my car started making a weird wobbling noise ( worse when I turn)at the left front drivers side tire. I was advised to fix it right away as it is a safety hazard. Took it in and I had to have my left front wheel baring replaced for $600.00 I have 41,000 miles and these should be good for 80,000-150,000 miles. I kept the part.”
NHTSA complaint #11243999, filed 2019-08, 41,000 miles“2017 Equinox came with michelin latitude tour x tires. After less than 2 years (30,000 miles), tire sidewalls are severely cracked. I have never seen a tire degrade as badly as these have. The factory in poland must be using substandard materials to make these tires. Dot b53t 031x 4516. According to michelin, I will be responsible for at least 80% of the replacement cost. I always thought michelin was a high quality company but after seeing how these tires are falling apart, I no longer think that.”
