Michelin India — Worst tyre make, replaced 3 in 3 years

Hi – I bought Honda City in 2012 Oct, which was fitted with Michelin tyres. After 1 year (3000kms) one of my tyre was busted while driving it was with a sudden unbalance. I didn’t pay much attention to it and got a tube fitted within the tyre and was using it as a spare wheel. Again after 6 months (4000kms) while running on a patchy (without any holes) road tyre busted with a huge imbalance. I was traveling with my family and it was very risky to get into such a situation. This one I replaced with new michelin tyre which I feel was my greatest mistake. Now Again after 3 years (7000kms) I was travelling on a national highway NH8 and suddenly got a flat tyre. While replacing found that there are cracks in the tyre on the side wall and there was a hole on the side wall, it was busted again. This time it was very hard to balance the car on the highway. By god’s grace nothing happened and we were safe. I have other cars as well which are fitted with MRF or JK tyres and they are running perfectly fine from 10 years. I don’t know of what Michelin tyres are made up of. These are so risky without any impact they are getting busted. No one can rely on them. These are not cost effective as well, they cost approx. around Rs 5500 - Rs6500. I am looking for proper justification why it happened and that to 3 times in a row. This is a matter of safety for a family. Thanks, Ruchir Jain [protected]@gmail.com
