| Description of the problem | I have a 2011 ford f250 super duty 28,000 miles, the vehicle is equipped with michelin lt275/65r20 tires. I recently noticed stress cracks alone the inner wall near the rim on all 4 tires. There is also cracks around the upper portion of the tire around the tread. Through research i have located a safety recall for these tires but in the size of lt 275/55r20. I have contacted michelin and was told to purchase new tires ( $330 x 4 ) and send these tires to them for inspection. There is a possiability of a proration but no guarantee. As in the posted safety recall this has the potential to have a partial or full loss of air making this a huge safety concern. |
