| Description of the problem | Michelin ltx m/s2 p265/70r18 tires, 70000 mile warranty, properly inflated (tire sensors) and rotated, even wear at about half wear life(based on unrotated spare). 38,561 miles on tires. Rear passenger tire failure (crack between tread) at approx 30 mph. Unrepairable due to tread cracking. Upon inspection, all tires except spare have sidewall cracking adjacent to rim, longitudinal crack at inside of exterior and interior tread, and cracking slits sim to failure intermittently between treads. Tire shop recommended replacement and called it severe weather checking. The combination of low miles and minimal tread wear makes this premature failure a safety risk. Reported to michelin and they blamed it on age. The tires are under seven years old. |
