Why it's dangerous
Some factory fitted Michelin tyres (models X MULTI Z and X LINE ENERGY Z, size 355/50 R 22.5) may develop a crack along the sidewall that worsens with use. This defect can cause a sudden loss of air pressure while driving, making the vehicle unstable and harder to control. As a result, there is a risk of accidents, which could lead to serious injuries for the driver, passengers, or other road users.
