On 7/22/09 we purchased 2 new tires and had them installed on the front of our 2006 chevy 3500 crew cab dually. these were purchased because we were taking a 2000+ mile trip on 7/24. on 7/24 one of these new michelin tires lt 215/8516 ltz ms blew out - a complete tire failure, while we were on i-44 at high speed. no injuries and no other vehicles involved, but we report this in case it indicates a safety-related defect trend exists. *tr
Valve stem (inflation valve) ruptured and caused tire to deflate. this was the second valve stem to rupture on this truck. the valve stem is available for inspection. the valve stem from the first incident is not available. *tr
Valve stem on tire broke, immediate loss of air, it was an inside dually tire which saved me from getting in a wreck. if it would have been a front tire i would have lost control, at the time i was going 50 mph. could have been fatal. *jb
