Dt*: the contact stated while parallel parking at 1 mph, the rear passenger wheel rubbed the curb, and the aluminum casting on the rim flaked off, which damaged the tire. the service dealer was contacted, and determined that a smaller rim could not be used to replace the wheel. the contact expressed concern that curbs were 6-7 inches high, and scraping a curb could damage the rim and tire, posing a safety risk on the road. the tire and rim size were: p205/60r16.*ak

Dt*: the contact stated while driving the tires suddenly became flat on the passenger side. there were no potholes or foreign objects that may have punctured the tires. the dealer recently checked the tire pressure two weeks ago and there was no need for even a rotation of the tires. there was also no vibration while driving prior to this incident. the tires were observed prior to the incident and there were no signs of failure or budging. the contact expressed being nervous because of the two tires going flat at the same time with no apparent warning. the dealer stated both rims were bent. updated 08/22/06. *jb

A michelin hxmxm4 225-50-17 installed on my ford fusion 2006 just lost all the tread area after just some 1500 miles on it. i called ford and michelin and i got no answer. since the tires are made in the usa and ford is a us brand, i would like to file this complaint. i have plenty of pictures i might send to you in case you need them. i have called michelin, because this is a brand new tire, so there is no tires on any dealer, and also, to ask them to honor the warranty but it seems that no one wants to help out and they say it must be my fault and not michelins fault since their tire have never ever had such type of problem. thank you. *jb
