Description of the problem | I discovered while my car was parked in the garage that the right front tire had a protruding sidewall next to the rim, with about a 4-inch split and exposed steel belt. On the same day i had the tire replaced for $293. 61. Within the next week i discovered that all of the other three tires began showing protruding sidewalls. Note that the electronic inflation history shows no significant deviation from normal pressures. There were no crashes involving the vehicle. All 4 tires were the originals from the gm factory. Neither cadillac, where the first tire was replaced, nor michelin, the manufacturer, offer any warranty or credit toward replacement of any of the four tires. These tires appear to be defective with the potential safety issue for sudden blowout. There does not appear to be any external cause for this defect to occur at only 10,000 miles. The michelin model # is 225/40r18. My local cadillac service manager has stated that this has been reported to gm, and they will not assume any responsibility. |
