Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

NHTSA ID 10639965 · filed Sep 30, 2014

BOUGHT MY MOTOR HOME IN JUNE 2009 WITH MICHELIN TIRES SIZE LT 225/75R16 115/R/LRE LTX MS. SINCE NEW, MY TIRES HAVE BEEN CRACKING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRES MORE AND MORE. I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES AND IT IS KEPT IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THESE TIRES BLOWING OUT, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY LOOK, BUT AS I SAID, WE HAVE VERY LITTLE MILEAGE ON THESE TIRES AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO THE TOP OF THE LINE TIRES. PLEASE, REPLY. THANK YOU. ..UPDATED 04-16-14 *BF
