“I live in arizona where it is hot and dry. I was coming home from the mall with my 2 children on the expressway when I had the driver's side rear tire blow out. I was stranded on the expressway for an hour with 2 small children. My vehicle is fairly new - 2003 Gmc Envoy Xl and there is only 38,000 miles on the tires. When the tow truck came to change out the tire they indicated that it was very unusual for a michelin tire to blow the radials like it did. I have model p245/65r17. …”

“I had lost 3 center pieces that covers the lude bolts. I spoke the company about the above and they stated they hadn't had any one to complain. But after great effort it was resolved with me being reimbursed with the 1 I had purchased and they replaced the other 2. I had spoken with 2 of my co-workers and they had a similar complaint, but did not pursue it. Now my cruise control has gone out and may vechile only have 16,000 miles on it and I haven't use d it. The way I found out it was not working was we were taking a trip and the cruise would not work. …”
