“MICHELIN LTX AT2 TIRES. EXCESSIVE CRACKING. TIRES WITH 30,000 MILES ON THEM AND WELL OVER ONE-HALF TREAD REMAINING HAVE DEVELOPED WIDESPREAD SIDEWALL CRACKS. CRACKS ARE MORE THAN COSMETIC, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL RAISED BUMPS IF YOU RUN YOUR HAND OVER THEM. THE CRACKS SEEM SEVERE ENOUGH THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT TIRE FAILURES, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, AND EVIDENCE THAT MICHELIN HAS BEEN QUIETLY OFFERING DISCOUNTED REPLACEMENTS TO THOSE WHO COMPLAIN DIRECTLY TO THEM. I RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT ON THEIR WEBSITE BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ENOUGH THAT A MORE FORMAL PROGRAM ON MICHELIN'S PART SEEMS WARRANTED. *TR”
