TIRES
MY CAR HAS 4 MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR HP TIRE SIZE P225/60R17 AND TIN CODE DOT EDXHN2WX4907. I HAD ONE TIRE REPLACED BECAUSE IT DEVELOPED AIR LOSS WITH TIME. MY INFINITY EX35 HAD THE LIGHT FOR TIRE PRESSURE LOSS ON . AFTER THIS INCIDENT WE RE-PRESSURIZED THE TIRE WITH THE CAR?S PLACARD SPECIFICATIONS. TWO (2) MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT FOR PRESSURE OF THE TIRE TURNED ON AGAIN. WE PRESSURIZED THE TIRE AGAIN. THEN AFTER A WEEK THE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN. WE PRESSURIZED THE TIRE AGAIN AND THEN THE NEXT DAY WE HAD A FLAT TIRE. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT REPLACED FOR ANOTHER BRAND. AFTER THIS INCIDENT THE LIGHT OF THE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 2 WEEKS. BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WE STRONGLY BELIEVE WE ARE HAVING THE SAME AIR LOSS PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THE OTHER 3 MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRES INSTALLED IN THE CAR. WE NOTICED 2 WEEKS AGO THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR LINE THAT COVERS VARIOUS SIZES AND TIN CODES, HOWEVER, THE SIZE AND TIN CODE ON MY MICHELIN TIRES WERE NOT COVERED ON THE RECALL. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 13T006000 FOR THIS RECALL. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER ?MICHELIN NORTH AMERICA? IS UNDER RECALL, AND THINK MORE SIZES OF THE SAME TIRE LINE ?LATITUDE TOUR? SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE TIRE RECALL AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL COMPLAINS OF THE SAME TIRE BRAND AND MODEL. I STRONGLY BELIEVE MY TIRES ARE HAVING AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME AIR LOSS PROBLEM DUE TO SIDEWALL PERFORATION THAT THE MICHELIN RECALL REPORTED. WE THINK THE PROBLEM REACHES OUT TO OTHER SIZES OF THE SAME TYPE OF TIRE THAT WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. PLEASE CONDUCT OR INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION TO WHETHER OR NO THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO OTHER TIRE SIZES OF THE SAME MICHELLIN LATITUDE TIRE LINE. THERE CAN BE POTENTIALLY OTHER TIRES OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS PEOPLE HAS DESCRIBED ON OTHER COMMENTS FOR THE SAME LATITUDE TOUR MICHELIN TIRES. WE ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS IN THIS WEBSITE. *TR
