Recently reported WHEELS problems on 2016 Acura RLX

3 sidewall separations on 3 different wheel locations in normal driving after hitting moderate potholes at between 30-40 mph. the mid profile michelin primacy oem tires, 19 inch wheels, and suspension do not function safely on this heavy sedan. the risk of even a small pothole, expansion joint, or manhole is a danger since the sidewalls get cut without actually blowing out, so a blowout could happen at any time. it is noteworthy that i have never had this issue with a tire in a million miles of driving over 35+ years. to have 3 in 5 months screams of a safety issue which michelin denies and acura won't address. 1. turning right on an entrance ramp at about 35mph, separated driver front tire when i hit a pothole in the dark. 8,000 miles on tire. (feb 2016) 2. slowing for a traffic light at about 20mph, separated passenger rear tire when i hit a pothole in the driving lane. 15,000 miles on tire. (june 2016) 3. just after turning right onto an entrance ramp to a highway, hit a pothole at 15-20mph. passenger front tire separated. 15,400 miles on tire. (june 2016)
