MICHELIN XZA TIRES Complaints

I HAVE MICHELIN TIRES ON A 1996 FLEETWOOD MOTOR HOME AND OUT OF 4,000 MILES I HAVE HAD 2 BLOW OUTS. MICHELIN DENIES WARRANTY CLAIMS TIRES WERE RUN LOW ON AIR PRESSURE. THIS IS NOT TRUE. 2 OTHER MOTORHOME OWNERS WITHIN 25 MILES OF THIS AREA ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. [XXX] HAD 2 BLOW OUTS AND WARRANTY PROBLEM WITH MICHELIN. [XXX] ALSO SAME PROBLEM WITH 3 BLOW OUTS. BOTH ARE FILING A CLAIM WITH YOUR OFFICE. CONVERSATION WITH OTHERS ON THE ROAD MANY I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 6 OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH PROBLEMS WITH MICHELIN TIRES ON MOTORHOMES. NO PARTICULAR HOME ALL DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS. THE CONCERN IS SAFETY IN WHICH THIS COULD CAUSE A HEAD ON COLLISION OR A LOSS OF CONTROL WITH FATALITIES TO OUR FAMILY. THIS IS ALSO GETTING TO BE EXPENSIVE TO THE POINT OF HAVING TO CALL FOR ROAD SERVICE TO CHG TIRE AND THEN TO PURCHASE A SPARE FOR BACK UP. NOT TO MENTION THE LOST TIMES SITTING BESIDE THE ROAD.I CONTACTED MICHELIN DIRECT AFTER THEIR REPRESENTATIVE FILED HIS REPORT AND THAT'S WHEN THEY ADVISED OF THE LOW AIR PRESSURE PROBLEM. ALL TIRES CHECKED BY DEALER BEFORE TRIP AND ALWAYS SET AT PROPER PRESSURE. DISCUSSION WITH SEVERAL DEALERS 2 ARE MICHELIN DEALERS SUGGEST MICHELIN DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT OF A PROBLEM. THANK YOU, [XXX].*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
