I HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT MICHELIN TIRES.(MXV4) I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT TIRE. I HAD TWO UNEXPLAINED BLOWOUTS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND A YEAR LATER A "BUBBLE" ON THE SIDEWALL OF ANOTHER TIRE. MY EXPERIENCE AS AN EX-AIRCRAFT MECHANIC (16 YEARS), ALLOWED ME TO KNOW THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND I REPLACED THEM ALL. I FELT REALLY FOOLISH THAT I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY TAKE ACTION AFTER THE BLOWOUTS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO VISIBLE CAUSE EITHER TIME. AS I REFLECT BACK, BOTH BLOWOUTS WERE ON A HOT SUMMER DAY AND THE POORLY CONSTRUCTED TIRE COULDN'T TAKE THE HEAT.*AK
