hummm mike called me yesterday said his TT cab is shaking really bad. we wonder why?!

glad we caught it early. now since this tire is N-rated & could possibily be covered by Porsche warranty, i need Damon's opinion.

Thats knarly. I had a MPSC that developed a similar, albeit smaller, distortion. Michelin generously offered to sell me a replacement tire at full price. Good luck with the warranty claim.

i was just messing with Damon. my verdict is he was running flat for awhile & destroy the inside of the sidewall.

Michelin is the worst POS company and I won't buy another tire from them because of it....

Had all 4 PS2's fail (bubbles on the inside and outside sidewalls) in 400-500 miles. It was 100% manu. defect as when we took them off, there was NO DAMAGE whatsoever (no shavings or anything...). Michelin claimed my tires had too many miles on them to be warrantied (HAHAHA 500 miles HAHAHAHA). F THEM!!
