Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.

AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE A WALMART PARKING LOT [I WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME] I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE.I INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE TIRE TREAD HAD BLOWN OUT AND SEPARATED FROM TIRE. SINCE TIRES ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 11,000 MILES ON THEM I GOOGLED MICHELIN TIRE PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET. MY TIRES ARE MICHELIN LTX M/S LT 225/75R16. I FOUND A RECALL WITH THE NHTSA CAMPAIN #3T012000 FOR THESE TIRES. THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY AT TIME OF TIRE SEPARATION. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF TIRE AND ORIGINAL SALES RECEIPT.
