“In june of 2011 I purchased a set of four michelin p215/60r16 primacy mxv4 tires for my 2005 mercedes benz E320 automobile. In july of 2014 one of the tires failed (lost air pressure while parked) while my wife and I were on a weekend trip out of town. The local tire shop that repaired the flat informed us that the tire could not be repaired ? The sidewall had failed and the tire would need to be replaced. The failed michelin tire had been installed for 3 years and had 50% of the usable tread wear remaining (measured later by discount tire). …”
