More Michelin Pilot Power recall info


On one hand I think its great that Michelin stepped up and took responsibility to keep us safe, so many other big companies might sweep it under the rug, especially in this case where there hasnt been any major reports of anything. It seems like no one can even figure out what is wrong with the tire.
BUT, I paid for a 2CT, I want a 2CT in return. If I had a choice to take a pilot power now, or wait for a 2CT thats fine. I dont need a tire, the one on there only has 1000 miles on it, so thats fine. But I didnt pay for a 2CT to get a pilot power.
Also I agree that if youre a dealer for Michelin you should be responsible for a safety recall. If you arent willing to stand behind the product, you shouldnt be selling it. Its not like I bought it and decided I didnt want it, the company decided it wasnt safe.
Michelin is starting to lose my respect for this issue. If they make things right, I certainly will buy their products again. However, if I paid for a 2CT and get a pilot power, and have to drive miles out of my way because they dont do something about closer dealers that refuse to take the tires back, well then, I might just become a pirelli man.
