MICHELIN TIRES Complaints

AT PURCHASE, CAR SEEMED TO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN ACCELERATING. AFTER ABOUT 3500 MILES, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELLING ABOUT 65 MPH. THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO TREAD WEAR. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF PUNCTURE IN THE TREAD. THE MICHELIN DEALER SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY THE TIRE COULD HAVE FAIL THIS WAY IS TO DRIVE ON IT EXTREMELY UNDER-INFLATED. THE REASON WHY I BELIEVE THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE IS BECAUSE AFTER THE TIRE WAS REPLACED, THE CAR NO LONGER PULLS TO THE LEFT DURING ACCELERATION.*AK
