2005 Subaru LEGACY Tires Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model Year	2005
File date	06/06/15
Component	TIRES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Michelin defender tires; all 4 tires are dry rotting where the tread meets the casing and belts . Degradation of the tires over a little over 2 years is extremely premature considering these tires are advertised to give 90,000 miles and we probably only put on around 8,000 miles a year . We live in the pittsburgh, pa area where they use several different ice melting chemicals including rock salt that can enter the large cracks in the rubber and eat away at it . I'm afraid to take the car on long trips using interstate highways at high speed for fear of the tread separating from the casing of the tire . What's ironic is that looking on-line there are many other people also complaining about michelin tires dry rotting prematurely . I have several excellent close-up pictures that i can email upon request .
