they state that an “underinflated” tire will cause a loss of traction turning a good braking vehicle into an under performer”…

Now my question…and I am thinking more about truck tires. If you want higher traction…like in sand…you lower the pressure which gives you much better traction.

But Michelin is claiming that an underinflated tire will cause LOSS of traction…am I missing something?????

I have at least one tire that is leaking from 40 psi to 18 psi over a period of time (usually 7-10 days). Currently I have approx 14,500 miles on them. This leak has been a problem almost from day one. It has been checked several times by both an indpendent tire repair shop and Goodyear authorized dealer shop and they cannot find any reason for this to occur. Tire has been broken down and inpsected in each case. Valve stem has been replaced at least twice. The colder the weather the more likely this will occur. It has become very frustrating.

Are there any recalls on this tire or characteristics in this batch run that would cause this. Have you received similar reports from others?
