TIRE SIZE P215/65R16, DOT NUMBER M30D 99JX 2800, MICHELIN TIRE WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON THE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH ABOUT 21,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN DRIVING ON A REGULARLY DRIVEN 30-40 MILE ROUTE. NOTICED THAT THE REAR RIGHT TIRE AT THE END OF THE RIDE HAD BLOWN OPEN ON THE SIDEWALL AREA OF THE TIRE. MR

CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE TIRE CENTER AND THEY NOTICE TIRE BLISTERED WITHIN THE TIRE. THEY MADE REPLACEMENT AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER FURTHER INFROMATION.*JB

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE TIRE SHREADDED IN THE CENTER, CAUSING THE CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL AND INJURING MY WIFE AND MYSELF. I CALLED MICHELIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS THE NORMAL MANNER IN WHICH THE TIRE WOULD FUNCTION.*AK

WILL FOLLOW UP ON REQUEST FROM DOT FOR PHOTOS OF TIRES NEXT WEEK. CHEVROLET TRUCK DIVISION IS AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THE WINNEBAGO 'BRAVE' PACKAGE IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE CHASSIS. MY PRELIMINARY RESULTS INDICATE THAT, WITH THE LIQUIDS CAPACITY @ 50% AND 3 ADULTS, THIS VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURERS AXLE RATING IS EXCEEDED BY 1600 POUNDS ON THE FRONT AXLE AND BY 2000 POUNDS ON THE REAR AXLE.

MICHELIN, RANIN FOREST, SIZE 1856R16; WHILE DRIVING THERE IS POOR TRACKING ON WET PAVEMENT. DEALER CAN'T CAUSE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CONSUMER STATES WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE TIRE WILL NOT CHANNEL WATER OUT CORRECTLY, SO TIRES CAN STAY ON THE ROAD. THEY ARE EXPERIENCING SEVERE HYDROPLANE. CONTACTED DEALER/MANUFACTURER, THEY WERE OF NO HELP TO CONSUMER. SIZE P275/55 R18. DOT# B715FMWX1902.ORGINAL TIRES.*JB

THE 2003 HONDA PILOT HAS A VIBRATION IN THE TIRES THAT THE DEALER HAS HAD IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES, SINCE DAY ONE TO TRY TO FIX THE TIRE VIBRATION (70 MPH AND UP, SOMETIMES FELT AT LOWER SPEEDS). THE TIRES STILL EMITS A STEADY AND OBVIOUS VIBRATION THAT EMINATES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A FLAT SPOT IN THE TIRES. PILOT OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM ARE ENTITLED TO HONDA'S UNRELENTING ATTENTION AND COMMITMENT TO CORRECT THIS MYSTERY.*AK
