“INCIDENT DATE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2012 APPROXIMATELY 1PM TEMPERATURE: APPROXIMATELY 55 DEGREES ROAD CONDITION: DRY TIRES: GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX INSTALLED: SEPTEMBER 23, 2009 MILES ON TIRES AT TIME OF INCIDENT: 49,051 ESTIMATED TREAD LIFE LEFT: 4/32 NUMBER OF PERSONS IN VEHICLE: 2 ADULTS, 3 CHILDREN WHILE ON A LOCAL SHOPPING TRIP INCLUDING TRAVEL ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE RIGHT REAR TIRE OF THE VEHICLE BLEW OUT. WE HAD ENTERED THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 5 MILES. WHILE PASSING A SEMI AND IN THE LEFT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY, AT 70 MPH, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE AND THE TIRE WAS SLAPPING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FENDER. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED DOWN AND MOVED TO THE CENTER MEDIAN. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED SAFELY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE REVEALED A TOTAL BLOW OUT. THE OTHER MEMBERS EXITED THE VEHICLE AND REMAINED IN THE GRASS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE THE TIRE WAS CHANGED. WHEN THE TIRE WAS CHANGED WE CONTINUED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND USED BACK ROADS TO RETURN HOME. NEW TIRES WERE…”

“WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, REAR TOYO TIRE BLEW OUT. REQUIRED REPLACING 2 TIRES, THE ONE BLOW OUT AND ANOTHER IN FRONT THAT HAD TREAD SEPARATION ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY TIRE MECHANIC. UPON RETURN FROM TRIP, TAKEN BACK TO INSTALLATION DEALER AND THEY CONTACTED TOYO WHO OFFERED A $30 REFUND ON EACH. SINCE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS FOR 4 TIRES, THE TWO REMAINING TIRES WERE ALSO AT RISK FOR SIMILAR BLOW OUT. TOYO DID NOT WANT TO OFFER REFUND UNLESS PROOF OF TIRE ROTATION WAS PROVIDED. THE ISSUE WAS ULTIMATELY WITH A FAULTY BLOW-OUT (3 TIRE DEALERS STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WEAR-AND-TEAR ISSUE BUT A DEFECT) AND NOT A MATTER OF GETTING REFUND YET TOYO'S FOCUS WAS ON PROVING THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT MAINTAINED RATHER THAN DEALING WITH AN OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT OUT IN THE MARKET. *TR”

“HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE! I HAD DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON WHAT TYPE OF USED MINI VAN WAS THE BEST ON THE MARKET. HONDA KEPT POPPING UP, SO I WENT AND PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING. I LOVED IT UNTIL I GOT A FLAT TIRE. I TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT TIRE STORE (THE SAME PLACE WE TOOK OUR TOYOTA). THAT IS WHERE WE INFORMED THAT WE HAVE THE PAX TIRE SYSTEM. FROM THERE IT'S BEEN A DISASTER! I'VE CALLED MICHELIN AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THIS SITUATION RIGHT! IT SHOULD BE DISCLOSED TO BUYERS BEFORE THEY PURCHASE A CAR WITH THIS TIRE SYSTEM ON IT. THE TIRES COST 300$ A PIECE AND I WAS INFORMED BY MICHELIN THAT THEY ONLY LAST UP TO 36K MILES. THE TIRES THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW, STILL SHOULD HAVE 50% OF THEIR LIFE, HOWEVER MY REAR TIRE NOW HAS A "BUBBLE" ON IT. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! SHAME ON HONDA AND MICHELIN FOR NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA OR MICHELIN TIRE! *TR”

“WHILE DRIVING ON I-81. I HEARD A BRIEF, UNUSUAL SOUND INSIDE MY HONDA ODYSSEY, THEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE SUFFERED AN IMMEDIATE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE TIRE TREAD JUST PEELED OFF THE TIRE. FORTUNATELY THE TIRE DID NOT DEFLATE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PARK OFF THE INTERSTATE AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VAN SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT BODY DAMAGE FROM THE TIRE THREAD DEBRIS. I WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER. THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SELL TOYO AND IT WAS AFTER 6 P.M. THEY ALSO WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE VAN SAFE FOR HIGHWAY TRAVEL BY REMOVING BROKEN BODY PARTS AND SECURING OTHER BODY COMPONENTS THAT ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY BACK HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENTS.....UPDATED 05/23/12 *BF UPDATED 06/06/2012 *JS *TR”

“I PURCHASED A SET OF 4 TOYO VERSADO LX TIRES ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. IN THE LAST MONTH, ONE TIRE COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED ON THE INTERSTATE AND WE WERE LUCKY TO KEEP CONTROL! THE OUTER TREAD COMPLETELY PEELED OFF LIKE YOU SEE FROM 18-WHEELERS. JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER, WE HAD TERRIBLE VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT END. TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALER WHO DETERMINED ANOTHER OF THE TIRES WAS COMPLETELY DEFECTIVE. THE TREADS WERE SEPARATING FROM THE INSIDE, AND THE TIRE WAS EFFECTIVELY SQUARE. ALL OF THE TIRES HAD PLENTY OF WEAR LEFT. *TR”
