I PURCHASED A NEW 2014 CADILLAC SRX. AFTER LESS THAN TWO YEARS AND 24,728 MILES THE DEALER TELLS ME MY TIRES ARE WORN OUT. I QUESTION THE DEALER BECAUSE I HAVE MAINTAINED THE TIRES IN ACCORDANCE WITH GM AND CADILLAC GUIDELINES. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A 40K VEHICLE WOULD HAVE SOLD NEW WOULD REQUIRE NEW TIRES WHEN LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. THE QUALITY OF THE TIRES BEEN SOLD ON NEW VEHICLES NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THIS IS A TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION TO THE CONSUMER. UPDATED 10/06/15*LJ UPDATED 11/13/2017*CN

PURCHASED A 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR P255/60R19 108S, 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON ABOUT TIRE PRESSURE BEING LOW. TIRES WERE INSPECTED AND ALL 4 TIRES WERE NOTED TO HAVE SEVERE SIDEWALL CRACKING.. AFTER SEARCHING FOUND THESES TIRES HAD A RECALL IN 2013 FOR THE SAME REASONS BUT MICHELIN STATES THESE TIRES WERE PRODUCED BEFORE THEN AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. WAS TOLD BY MICHELIN TIRE DEALER THESE TIRES WERE UNSAFE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BUT MICHELIN REFUSES TO COVER THE COST

2009 MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR ALL SEASON LUXURY TIRES P265/70R16 WERE PURCHASED AT COSTCO 12/16/09. WE WENT TO OUR MECHANIC ON 2/17/15 FOR A VIBRATION PROBLEM ON FRONT END OF OUR 1998 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER. AFTER INSPECTION HE INFORMED US THAT OUR TIRES WERE CRACKED ON SIDE WALL. IN ADDITION THE ROAD FORCE BALANCE TEST SHOWS SEVERE RUNOUT ON FRONT TIRES AND WE SHOULD REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. WE HAVE ONLY PUT 18,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES. MY TIRES DON'T FALL UNDER THE RECALLS BUT THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT FOR THAT KIND OF FAILURE TO OCCUR WITH SUCH LOW MILAGE. *TR

MICHELIN LATITUDE TIRES P265/70 R17 BOUGHT SEPT. 2011 FROM COSTCO IN INGLEWOOD CALIF. THE TREAD SURFACE IS PEELING FROM THE TIRE. THERE ARE SMALL CRATER LIKE AREAS WHERE THE TREAD HAS CRUMBLED AWAY. THE LATITUDE TIRE WAS ADVERTISED AS; "LATITUDE TOUR TIRES USE A SILICA-BASED TREAD COMPOUND MOLDED INTO A SYMMETRIC TREAD DESIGN". I WENT TO COSTCO TO SEE IF THEY WOULD WARRANTY THE TIRE. AT FIRST THEY TOLD ME THE DETERIORATION OF THE TIRE THREAD WAS DUE TO THE SURFACE THAT I DROVE ON. AFTER I ASSURED THE COSTCO SERVICE TECH THAT I DRIVE ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAY, NOT OFF ROAD, HE SAID HE WOULD ONLY PRORATE THE TIRE VALUE BASED ON THE THREAD USE. THAT TURNED OUT TO BE 50 PERCENT OF ON A NEW SET OF TIRES. *TR
