“I was traveling with 2 small children on a straight way on hwy and the front tire blew in the sidewall of my michelin tire. I was pulled across the other lane into a ditch striking a stone culvert after going airborne. I had purchased a set of michelin tires and they were a 70,000 mile tire and had 23,000 miles on them when this occurred. After investigation it was determined a blowout as there was no damage to wheel indication of road hazard that would have caused this type of damage to tire. …”
NHTSA complaint #10701733, filed 2015-03, 110,700 miles“After noticing dimples on the sidewalls of our continental conti pro tires, on a new 2011 Altima, we checked online and found dozens of problems with tread separation and sidewall failures that LED to blowouts. We are getting rid of the continentals with just 2,000 miles on them. It's worth $600 for new michelins to know our 2,000-mile drive tomorrow will be on safe tires. It's just unconscionable that these tires come on nissans, fords and mercedes, and that consumers aren't at least given a choice to opt out. I can't take a family trip on these tires.”
NHTSA complaint #10410641, filed 2011-07“The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Altima with continental sport contact tires size 215 /60 r16. The DOT number was not available. The contact stated that the front driver side tire blew out while driving 55 MPH. The contact was forced to drive the vehicle in the left lane in order to avoid a crash. The vehicle was towed and the tire was replaced. The contact was told by the insurance company the cause of failure and the tire failed at 4,000 miles. The front drivers side tire was installed four months ago. The current mileage was 20,000.”
