What owners report
During highway travel noticed vibration in steering wheel. inspected tires and noticed tire GOODYEAR VIVA3 225/65R17 (PJ2Y LDHR) shows side belt bubble. Concerned that tire may ruptured during highspeed travel. Request NTSB review manufacturers design for sidewall construction and or broadcast recall on tire type with deficiency sidewall concerns.
Primewell valera tire dot y9h3 lehx 4217 . Experienced fatal severe sidewall tear (rupture) while driving (freeway) under normal road conditions. Rapid loss of tire pressure 13lbs or less and inability to properly control and drive the vehicle. These particular brand of tires were manufactured by giti corporation in indonesia in 2017. Manufacturer has recalled nearly 400,000 tires of this exact brand and manufacture date due to sidewall rupture (severe tear) from normal use. I talked with giti technical services and they claim this tire dot is not on their recall list. No collisions involved.
Vehicle was in motion on a highway. My 2015 Town and Country was not equipped with a spare tire. We hit a stone that punctured the side wall of a front tire. There was no way the compressor provided with the vehicle would inflate the tire. There needs to be a spare tire in a vehicle. The first half dozen cars I owned had a full size spare. Since then they had econo spares (donuts). The last time I had a flat, I was able to change tires and make it home. The puncture I encountered this time happened 11:00 pm, no one to give assistance. Nearest towing service was 20 miles away. Why was car companies allowed to make a spare tire a $350 option? The fancy pump they provides that comes with a recharge canister cost more than a spare tire. You people require seat belts and air bags. What happened to the safety spare? What would my wife have one if I wasn't there. …
Left rear tire (Michelin radial x green energy saver a/s dot m33t 00kx 4014, p 225 65r17), massive blowout failure). No more than 22,000 miles on it. Outside sidewall shredded. Tread area remained intact. Speed about 35 MPH, air temp mid 70's. Did not see any nail or screw penetrating tread. Was in stop and go traffic on cross bronx expressway heading to gw bridge, 9:15 am Sunday when blowout occurred. Was able to safely get to roadside and used call box to call for a tow truck. Car was not equipped with a spare tire so had to buy a new one.

We purchased new tires for the front of our 2013 Chrysler Town & Country on 9/29/17 from tires plus in stillwater, mn. On 10/10/17, just 11 days later, while driving 55 MPH on a smooth, clear highway, the front right tire blew up, causing a horrific crash. There was a loud explosion, the car veered out of control, my husband fought the wheel as it skidded along the gravel verge. We were on 2 wheels, about to flip, when we hit a paved driveway, which swung the van around full force down a ditch into a pine grove. Airbags deployed, we sustained minor injuries (although it turns out they aren't so minor after all) thanks to safety construction in the car and our seat belts. The van was totaled. …
The Michelin tires, energy saver a/s are defective and dry rotting causing a potential blowout and accident. The accelerator is positioned too far forward and the brake is positioned too far back, causing the foot to slide under the brake when changing over from acceleration to braking. A very serious problem and defect in the design and workmanship of this vehicle.
