Summary

3 SIDEWALL SEPARATIONS ON 3 DIFFERENT WHEEL LOCATIONS IN NORMAL DRIVING AFTER HITTING MODERATE POTHOLES AT BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. THE MID PROFILE MICHELIN PRIMACY OEM TIRES, 19 INCH WHEELS, AND SUSPENSION DO NOT FUNCTION SAFELY ON THIS HEAVY SEDAN. THE RISK OF EVEN A SMALL POTHOLE, EXPANSION JOINT, OR MANHOLE IS A DANGER SINCE THE SIDEWALLS GET CUT WITHOUT ACTUALLY BLOWING OUT, SO A BLOWOUT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH A TIRE IN A MILLION MILES OF DRIVING OVER 35+ YEARS. TO HAVE 3 IN 5 MONTHS SCREAMS OF A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MICHELIN DENIES AND ACURA WON'T ADDRESS. 1. TURNING RIGHT ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP AT ABOUT 35MPH, SEPARATED DRIVER FRONT TIRE WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE IN THE DARK. 8,000 MILES ON TIRE. (FEB 2016) 2. SLOWING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT ABOUT 20MPH, SEPARATED PASSENGER REAR TIRE WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE IN THE DRIVING LANE. 15,000 MILES ON TIRE. (JUNE 2016) 3. JUST AFTER TURNING RIGHT ONTO AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY, HIT A POTHOLE AT 15-20MPH. PASSENGER FRONT TIRE SEPARATED. 15,400 MILES ON TIRE. (JUNE 2016)
