| Description of the problem | I was getting an oil change and the attendant doing the change pointed out a problem with all four of my tires. The sidewalls had multiple cracks in them. Some are an inch long and look deep. The manager of the facility said they were caused by the sun. I contacted michelin and they seemed to agree. I don't believe it. All four tires had the same problem. I don't have my receipt any longer. The tires were purchased in fall of 2008. I think the cracks are dangerous and could result in a blowout. I read about 5 blowouts that occurred with these same style tires where the driver did not know what caused the blowout. Maybe the tires had cracks. Michelin does not make harmony tires anymore. At least, i couldn't find any for sale. Tread depth is about 7/32". I have photos that show the cracks well. I you want to see them, let me know. |
