CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR TIRE REPLACEMENTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL # 13T012000.*JB
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
