I do not hate you for anything but I would appreciate you reading the whole thread before you make a comment that has already been covered. I did not hit ANYTHING that left any mark or sign on my tire. I did not notice any loss of air it was just an explosion of rubber that sent my whole bike...

I did not have a lawyer because I could not afford one, I tried. That made it a lot harder for me to stand any chance, I'm sure, but I simply couldn't pay for legal assistance. This incident occurred in East Tennessee. They sent a corporate lawyer from North Carolina to represent them. I...

So I went to court and the judge wanted us to have a tire expert on hand. I offered to reschedule and get a specialist there, but the Michelin attorney goes into this sappy spill about how much resources Michelin had wasted sending him such a long way there for nothing and motioned for a...

First off, the road I was on was I75 in between Chattanooga and Knoxville. This portion of that interstate has been repaved and is an extremely nice road to drive on- Perfectly flat, smooth blacktop. Also, I was in moderately heavy traffic so chances of me picking something up with 50 cars right...

How about my case? http://www.600riders.com/forum/main-lobby-new-member-section/43362-beware-michelin-2cts.html These were Thailand made with a march 2011 date stamp...

Sorry it's taken me awhile to get back on here I have been super busy moving to a new home across town... A few ppl were talking about tyre origins- My tyres say made in Thailand... of course. And assuming you're talking about the four digits next to the DOT code mine says 1311 so that's March...

I am okay with any action taken that might save someone from crashing and/or dying due to a faulty tyre!

Happened last fall. I thought Michelin would correct the problem and it took a couple months of talking back and forth for me to realize they didn't give a crap. And I meant to post sooner but I was not a member and I have been so busy I just didn't have the time to get pics, join the forum, and...

Yea I was really disappointed in what happened to the tires, I put a good deal of time researching before purchasing and had high expectations in them. And then the double whammy of Michelin basically blowing me off. My only objective is to get them to take notice and do something and if that...

The damage is so unique I don't know how they could copy it and send a diff set w.o me noticing. It still matches the pics I took before sending it perfectly, so I'm pretty comfortable Michelin wouldn't do something that dirty.

Check out the Pirelli Angel STs... they beat 7 world records for endurance in one test drive of 24hrs for about 31xx miles... simply amazing tires and they hug the ground like they are glued down.

Yea it was in my top scariest OH GOD I'M GOING TO DIE NOW moments. Fortunately I rode dirtbikes for 5 years before I ever tried street. And I drove through the woods like I stole that sucker and the law was hot on my trail. So I think that exp may have come in handy :D I can't believe it...

Def watch his back closely! A guy in traffic stopped to help and said he had flecks of rubber hitting his car from my tire right before it blew to pieces. And I will def let you guys know about the outcome. Who knows maybe I can make enough ruckus to get a recall or have this show up in the...

What's worth more? the $400ish for new tires or your life if they happen to explode and you aren't as fortunate as myself and able to stop? Just my 2cents

Yea I was sorely surprised by the way they have treated me. I was only asking for about $500 worth of work to replace the tires and fender that the tire beat to death. They ran me around so much and bull**** me enough I realized it was hopeless and reluctantly went and filed a lawsuit. My whole...
