On 6/3/2008, I purchased 2 Michelin ltx M/S 245/65/17 tires for my 2003 GMC Envoy from, millennium autobody & service Inc., 1782 main St., brockton, MA 02304. On 10/22/2008 (after only 7969 miles) the tire blew out on the way to fl- had it been replaced in NY. The tire was shredded. On 11/10/2008 (after only 9557 miles ) the 2nd tire went flat- I was able to pull the SUV over quickly recognizing the same sounds and vibrations from 1st blow out. This tire was not shredded. There was no punctures/ cuts to the tire. The clerk at the tire kingdom in fl stated that it was a faulty tire valve stem that had caused the tire to fail. I called home, and my family advised me that there had been reports of bad valve stems on trucks and SUV's. I contacted the location where I purchased the tires to report the two tires failing- they requested that I bring the tires back when I came back to MA. I did not have the 1st tire- but I did get and still have the 2nd tire. Millennium autobody said they were going to talk to tire rep and get back to me- but it has been several weeks now and still no word. I was very fortunate that no one was injured during these 2 events- I fear that there are still faulty tire valves out there- that other consumers may not be aware of them.

While driving 70 mph, the left rear tire blew out. The driver attempted to steer the vehicle to the side of the road but the vehicle rolled over twice and landed upright. The front and side air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained minor bruises.
