Michelin Complaint

4 tires failed in 1 year & less than 20k miles - MXV4 Plus XSE

I purchased a used 2005 Honda Accord in June of 2008 with new Michelin MXV4 Plus XSE tires. At various times in the last year and less than 20,000 miles of standard city/highway wear, all four have failed with sidewall blowouts. I maintain my tires with proper inflation and the tread is still good, so there is no reason these supposedly high end tires should fail. I have never had these issues with any make/model of tire in the past twelve years with only 3 flats in my life prior to these tires (2 nails and one blowout). Michelin has only offered to do something for the most recent tire. With their solution being to go to an authorized Michelin dealer so they can inspect the tire and give me a reduced price on a replacement based on their inspection. This is unacceptable. I want Michelin to refund me the money I paid to replace my 4 high end tires with the usual off brand "cheap" tires I've always owned with no problems. I recommend everyone avoid Michelin and this model in particular at all cost unless you want to waste your money on a shoddy product.

dont know how many miles on your tires but the warranty is only for 30thousand on those tires and it is recommended to rotate and align your vehicle every 6000-7000 miles or at least check the alignment
