“I experienced a tire sidewall blowout on a michelin energy mxv4 plus v rated tire size 205 55 16 with 9000 miles at approximately 70 MPH. This caused car to become extremely hard to control swerving across several lanes of traffic, and then spinning off the highway, ending up next to a canal facing traffic. I was extremely fortunate not to hit another vehicle or end up in the canal. The blowout damaged the factory rims. …”
