 Description of the problemI purchased a 2013 lincoln mkx in april 2015; dealer said they installed 4 new michelin green-x tires, latitude tour 245/60 r18, dot ap4a 005x, and was told they are rated at 90,000 miles i recently felt a vibration while driving at 55-60 mph so i checked the tires visually and found what looked like little jigsaw shaped pieces of tread that you could actually lift with a touch of your finger!! I called the dealer where i bought the car (& tires) and they said they would tow it to their service facility. I decided to drive it there, and by the time i arrived (about 40-45 miles) all those flaps of rubber were gone!! They had come off and left gaping holes where the tread used to be, all over the front tires. The service manager said he'd never seen anything like it and called other mechanics and service personnel; they were all curious as well. The dealership replaced all 4 tires with more michelins, then my son told me the tires are defective and should be recalled. It doesn't seem that michelin is very concerned about their customer's safety, as this website doesn't list my tires as being recalled. The dealership charged me about $1000 for the new tires, but i'm very worried these tires are also defective!! I think michelin or the dealership should replace the tires for free, with something else that is not defective! I will never buy michelin tires again, nor will i buy another vehicle from this dealership.
