MICHELIN X RADIAL LT TIRES Complaints

BOTH PASSENGER SIDE TIRES SPLIT AT THE SEAM PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AT RISK. TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY CONFIRMED BY DEALERSHIP - BOMMARITO CADILLAC ST. PETERS MISSOURI BOMMARITO CADIALLAC ST. PETERS MISSOURI ALSO INFORMED ME GM HAS INSTRUCTED TO NO LONGER SELL THESE TIRES TO CADILLAC CUSTOMERS. TIRES ARE CURRENTLY STILL ON THE CAR LOCATED AT BOMMARITO CADILLAC. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY ANY OTHER AUTHORITY OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP. TIRES ARE MICHELIN 245/40ZR19

MY FRONT TIRES, (FROM A SET OF FOUR), HAVE PARTS OF THE TREAD SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE BODY. THE RUBBER UNDER THE MISSING PIECES OF TREAD HAS A TEXTURE LIKE POPCORN. THE INNER SURFACE OF THE RUBBER IS SHINY AND SMOOTH. *DT IT IS NOT FROM GOUGING, FORCE, OR ABUSE TO THE TIRES. IT IS AS IF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS USED TWO DIFFERENT BATCHES OF RUBBER THAT WAS NOT INCORPORATED TOGETHER CORRECTLY, AND IS NOW SEPARATING FROM ITSELF. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! IF A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS FROM THIS DEFECT AT SPEED, IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, ROLLOVER, HEAD-ON, SERIOUS INJURY/DEATH. PLEASE REVIEW HIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR PICTURES OF THE DEFECT, SINCE THE WEBSITE HAS NO WAY TO UPLOAD THE PICS.*DT*JB *TR

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 KIA SEDONA THAT HAS MICHELIN TIRES ON IT. I PURCHASED THE TIRES ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2011. I HAD 76540 MILES ON THE VAN AT THAT TIME. TODAY I HAVE 100,955 MILES ON THE VAN, THAT IS A LITTLE OVER 24000 MILES ON THESE TIRES. I WAS HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED PRIOR TO A VACATION WITH MY DAUGHTER. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE TERRIBLE DRY-ROT. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND DANGEROUS AND I AM ALERTING YOU TO THIS PROBLEM. THESE TIRES SHOULD HAVE MANY MORE YEARS OF LIFE IN THEM AND DO NOT HAVE VERY MANY MILES ON THEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE MICHELIN REPLACING THESE TIRES .. THESE TIRES HAVE A 70,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM HOWEVER THEY ARE NOW 6 YEARS OLD, AND JUST PAST THE MICHELIN WARRANTY DATE. I WAS TOLD BY NTB MANAGER THAT MICHELIN HAVE A TENDENCY TO DRY-ROT/ CRACK AND HE EVEN HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ONES ON HIS CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NEW TIRES WILL COST OVER $800 ON THIS VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH I WOULD AGREE TO PICK UP SOME OF THAT COST SINCE I HAVE USED THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 70% LEFT ON THE LIFE OF THESE TIRES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THEM AS IS BECAUSE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF A BLOW OUT AND SINCE IT IS HAPPENING ON ALL 4 TIRES THAT COULD BE DISASTROUS. I HOPE THAT MICHELIN AGREES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES AND THAT THEY STAND BY THEIR BELIEF IN PROVIDING A GOOD PRODUCT, FREE FROM DEFECTS. THANKS
