I PURCHASED 4 MICHELIN TIRES FROM SEARS IN JULY OF 2013. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 I TOOK MY CAR FOR ITS NORMAL OIL CHANGE AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I LOOKED AT HIM STRANGELY AND TOLD HIM I JUST PURCHASED THE TIES LAST YEAR. HE THEN INSTRUCTED ME TO GO BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES AND TELL THEM THAT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE CHUNKS OF THE TREADS WERE SEPARATING FROM THE TIRES. I TOOK MY TIRES TO SEARS AND UPON INSPECTION THEY DECIDED THAT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND THEY REPLACED ONLY TWO TIRES. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I BELIEVED THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH ALL FOUR AND I WANTED ALL TIRES CHANGED BUT THEY DECIDED TO ONLY CHANGE TWO. HERE WE ARE IN NOVEMBER OF 2015 AND THE SAM ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I CALLED MICHELIN AND THEY TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE TIRES BUT I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO OTHERS. ALSO WHEN I ASKED THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH SOMEWHERE I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION.
