I HAVE MILESTAR MS 932 SPORT TIRES 185/65R15 ON MY PRIUS TOYOTA06 VEHICLE I RECENTLY HAD ONE OF THESE TIRES SEPARATE ON ME,THE( STEEL BELT). IT HAD A LARGE LUMP IN THE TREAD AREA WHICH MOST DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE EXPLODED IF I DIDNT STOP AND GET IT REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WITH ANOTHER TIRE ONE THE SAME VEHICLE. ALL TIRES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE SAME COMPANY AT FIRST THOUGHT I SUSPECTED JUST A BAD TIRE BUT THIS HAPPENING TWICE TO ME SHOWS THAT IT MUST BE A GREATER DEFECT PROBLEM THE TIRES HAVE APPROXIMATELY 27000 ON THEM. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 60000 TIRES THESE ARE WELL CARED FOR TIRES AND HAVE NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO ABUSE OR ANY REPAIRS. ID NUMBER ON THE FIRST TIRE THAT FAILED IS 04CH514A124

THOUGH SOLD AS "ALL SEASON" M+S RATED TIRES, THE MILESTAR MS932XP+ HAS DANGEROUSLY POOR TRACTION ON EVEN MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT PAVED STATE ROAD THAT HAD 1/4 INCH OR LESS FRESH SNOW AND MINIMAL/NO TREATMENT, IN A LATE MODEL AWD CROSSOVER SUV WITH 245/45R-19 TIRES, THE MILESTAR TIRES HAD DANGEROUSLY POOR TRACTION. ANY ACCELERATION, NO MATTER HOW SLOW, RESULTED IN WHEELSPIN AND LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITH TRACTION/STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGEMENT. EVEN MINIMAL BRAKING PRESSURE RESULTED IN FULL ABS ENGAGEMENT. BRAKING DISTANCES WERE EXTREMELY LONG. THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE TIRES WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH ANY OTHER ALL-SEASON M+S RATED TIRE I'VE USED, AND WAS MORE CONSISTENT WITH A "SUMMER" TIRE. SELLING THESE TIRES AS "ALL SEASON M+S" IS MISLEADING AND DANGEROUS.
