| Description of the problem | Purchased a new 2012 f150 with michelin ltx a/t2 tires 12000 miles and i noticed that they were dry rot between the tread lugs took back to dealer had them replaced now around 12000 mi. Later have same problem dry rot cracking between lugs and on sidewall i believe this tire has a problem and michelin needs to recall them before some innocent person is injured or killed. How many times are we going to replace something defective with something defective. *js |
