MICHELIN DEFENDER T+H TIRES Complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord equipped with Michelin Tires, Tire Line: Defender, Tire Size: 215/55/R17, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated while driving and exceeding 25 MPH, there was an abnormally loud sound coming from the tires. The contact took the vehicle to a local tire dealer, and upon inspection it was discovered that the tires were dry rotted. The tires were taken to a local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. Additionally, the dealer refused to repair or replace the tires but instead advised the contact to purchase a new set of tires. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The tire failure mileage was approximately 72,000. The vehicle failure mileage was unknown.

About two weeks after getting all new tires installed at Costco, the driver side rear tire blew out. I was driving about 50 MPH on a dry road with no debris in sight. The blowout gash was in the middle of the tire, not on the sidewall.

Tire pressure dose not hold air to recommended tire pressure. Passenger tire seem to control pressure on all four tires. Once tire pressure is inflated to recommended pressure. All four tires deflate and inflated to uneven pressure after driving. Vehicle was seen by Terry Cullen Johnsboro, Ga. They said the passenger rim need to be replaced 800.00. But I ask about the rubber oring around the valve stem replace, they said no oring on the valve stem. I ask about a valve replaced they said no a new tire is the best they could do. My gas mileage dropped to 28 miles a gal from 40. This is a critical fix for a car that has no spare tire. In addition, oil change could not be done on the transmission because there is 126,000 miles on the car is what the technician had said.
