ON 6/22/01 I BOUGHT 4 NEW MICHELIN 245-75R16 TRUCK TIRES FOR MY PICKUP FOR $524.62. THE VEHICLE IS USED FOR PLEASURE AND IS ALWAYS GARAGED. THE TIRES CURRENTLY HAVE ONLY 16,251 MILES ON THEM. DURING MY ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION, THE INSPECTOR NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAD CRACKING SIDEWALLS (DRY-ROT).

I CONTACTED MICHELIN AND THEY REFUSED ANY ACTION. I BELIEVE THAT TIRES SHOULD NOT FAIL DUE TO DRY-ROT WITH ONLY 16,251 MILES. *TR
