The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Scion Tc equipped with Michelin Pilot sport A/S plus tires, size 215/45/R17 (na). While driving approximately 55 mph, the rear passenger side tire blew out and caused the vehicle to crash into a guardrail. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an independent mechanic. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The tire was a replacement tire. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 56,000 and the tire failure mileage was unknown.
