[R129 SL] R129LIST Digest, Vol 39, Issue 4

[Peter S]

In my opinion, Michelin should accept some liability if the tyres are in good condition and less than three years old!.  Not a good advert for Michelin and I am now put off Michelin tyres as I heard a similar story from my cousin in Northern England. 

I had a similar incident with a set if Firestone Tyres a few years ago.  They kept getting punctures, the outer casing bulged and many problems.  An independent tyre seller indicated that my tyres were 'faulty' and this was reasonably common from a particular batch of the Firestone tyres.  Firestone refused to accept any responsibility.   The only way I got action was I moved  our company fleet (company I ran at the time) of 40 vehicles away from Firestone Tyres and moved to Reidrubber for about a year. 

Well, Warm and Sunny here in the Manawatu (New Zealand) today.  About 28 degrees C in the shade - lovely and will soon to time for a cold 'Sherbee' (beer!) and a 'barbie' (barbecue!). 

Have a good one, Regards, Peter S.

  The set of Michelin Sport AS tires were new in Jan 2004. Both tire failures occurred in 2007 so the`tires were about three years old when they failed.
