MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER TIRES Complaints

Michelin X Green Energy Saver A/S 225 / 50 R17 94V. Treadwear 480. Temperature A Traction B Max Load 670kg, 1477lbs DOT B3 0A 08EX 3221 All 4 tires, front driver, front passenger, rear passenger and rear driver show signs of failing or premature chunking of tread wear. The tires have 29,200 miles are driven on newer paved roads to work. The tires are filled with Nitrogen. The car is well maintained by local Honda Dealership. The tires were inspected at the local Honda dealership and the repair advisor, NOT THE REPAIR TECH said looks like normal wear a tear. Advisor falsely claimed high speed driving is the cause. This vehicle is driven 8 miles total per day to work speed limit MAX 50mph, contacted Michelin, not helpful to resolve issue. No Accident, all 4 tires show premature failure in tread wear.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV equipped with Michelin Tires, Tire Line: Energy Saver A/S, Tire Size: 215/50/R17, And DOT Number: N/A. The contact stated that while driving over a pothole the front driver's side tire sidewall failed causing the tire to go flat. The contact stated upon inspecting the vehicle tires, he noticed a bubble on the rear driver's side tire. The vehicle taken to the local dealer who replaced the tire; however, while driving over a pothole, the replacement tire experienced a sidewall failure. The contact stated that the same tire sidewall had failed on three separate occasions. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The cause of the failure were not determined. The failure mileage was 5,000.

on 7/2/21 I hit a curb at two miles per hour which caused a gash in the passenger front tire sidewall. I purchased the 21 Chevrolet Bolt and these Michelins are Bolt specfic, Michelin A/S selfseal because I work in construction and had a lot of flat repairs so selfseal was a primary driver for the lease. The tires have the sealant already inside which makes the tires heavy and cumbersome in handling. The sidewalls feel like they are buckling because the weight is in the tread and around it. These low rolling resistance tires have bad traction especially in wet conditions. I had to leave my car in an unsafe location and it took GM Roadside Assistance four days to get the car to the dealer. The bolt has no spare or sealant kit. I complained to GM and they offered me goodwill GM points which they later reneged on.

2020 CHEVY SUBURBAN LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER A/S 265/65R18--APPEARS A BULGE CAUSED A TRIANGLE SIZE CRACK EXPOSING SIDEWALL. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED, OR BEEN OFF ROAD AND IS STORED IN GARAGE

MY FAMILY RECENTLY PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER A/S 265/65/18. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER. WITH THE TIRES BEING UNDER 6 MONTHS OLD WE HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING ISSUES. 4 SEPARATE FLAT TIRES. WHICH I GAVE MICHELIN THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT THAT ITS NOT COMPLETELY THERE FAULT FOR NAILS / SCREWS BEING IN ROADWAYS. BUT COMMON 4 FLATS IN A MATTER OF A FEW MONTHS WITH ONLY 4K MILES BEING PUT ON THE VEHICLE SINCE TIRES INSTALLED. FINALLY WHAT COMPLETELY GOT ME WAS THE SIDE WALL DEVELOPED A 3 INCH SPLIT. IM JUST GLAD I NOTICED IT BEFORE MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE STEER TIRES. AFTER LOOKING AT REVIEWS ONLINE IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAVING ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS AND THESE TIRES BEING MAGNETS FOR SCREWS AND NAILS. ALSO MANY REVIEWS ABOUT PREMATURE DRY ROT. (I CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO DEVELOP THIS ISSUE AS ITS MORE THAN LIKELY COMING). TERRIBLE TIRES. DONT RECOMMEND THESE FOR ANYONE. I DONT WANT TO SEE ANYONE HURT OR INJURED DUE TO THIS POORLY ENGINEERED TIRE.

I HAVE OWNED 5 MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER A/S TIRES, SIZE 225/50R17. THREE OF THEM DEVELOPED SIDEWALL BUBBLES IN LESS THAN 40,000 MILES, SOME WITHIN 5000 MILES OF PURCHASE. ALL TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED SINCE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES COULD CAUSE DEATH. THIS TIRE IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

NUMEROUS TIRES HAVE HAD SIDEWALL FAILURE. WE HAVE HAD TWO TIRES WITHING 8 MONTHS (7000 MILES).

LOW SPEED (~15MPH) IMPACT WITH ROAD HAZARD CAUSED CATASTROPHIC SIDEWALL FAILURE AND BLOWOUT.

MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SECOND TIRE FAILURE TODAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. OUR 2015 FORD ESCAPE HAS 11,011 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN MID-JANUARY 2016 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 9,537 MILES ON IT. THE SIDEWALL ON BOTH TIRES SHOWED A LARGE CRACK IN IT AFTER THE FAILURE. BOTH FAILURES WERE NOT THE RESULT OF STRIKING A ROAD HAZARD. THE TIRE DEFLATION LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT AWAY WHEN THE FAILURES OCCURRED. THE FAILURES DID NOT RESULT IN A COLLISION SINCE THEY OCCURRED AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 25MPH AND THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC AROUND. THE FIRST FAILED TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MICHELIN TIRE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH BEEN DRIVING 40+ YEARS AND I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OF MY VEHICLES OR WITH A MICHELIN TIRE IN THE PAST. I STRONGLY SUSPECT THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE OR MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THESE TIRES. IT HAS BEEN A RARE INSTANCE WHEN THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATED ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM RELUCTANT TO DO SO WITH THESE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, AND EQUALLY RELUCTANT TO REPLACE THIS SECOND FAILURE WITH A LIKE MICHELIN CONSIDERING THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND REGISTERED WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AFTER RESEARCHING THIS TIRE ON THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE. I DO HAVE PHOTOS OF THE SECOND FAILED TIRE TO DOCUMENT THE DAMAGE AND TIRE DOT # SINCE I WILL BE REPLACED THE FAILED TIRE TOMORROW.

BOUGHT 2013 REGAL BUICK OCTOBER OF 2013. I HAD 2 TIRES TO BLOW OUT LAST YEAR AND 1 YESTERDAY. THIS IS 3 TIRES I HAD TO REPLACE. THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL.
