RDX 4-cyl

  • 52,967 miles
On February 12, 2013 I was driving my 2008 Acura Rdx on a side road when my tire pressure indicator light came on. I felt a slight bumping from my wheels. When I looked up in my rear view mirror saw a section of my tire lying in the road behind me. Fortunately I was at a low speed. When I picked up and checked the section of tire that had detached I realized that the tire had split in a circumference along the side walls on both sides and that the segment that had detached had the tread section intact along with a few inches of the sidewalls. The remaining portion of the tire remained on the rim. The tire was a Michelin mxm4 Pilot 235/55vri and had only been on my car for 26,000 miles. I am very concerned that this is a significant safety issue. The dot# for this tire is B93jphfx4110. None of these tires have performed to near the 50,000 miles that they are rated at. On January 4, 2011 at 26,644 miles I had to replace the 2 rear tires as they had worn to the tread wear indicators. On January 6, 2012 at 38,979 I had to replace the front tires as they had worn to the tread wear indicators. The tire that fractured along the side wall is now the 5th. Tire that I have needed to purchase in this series for this car.
