Just had a Michelin LT265/70R17E LTX M/S2 throw the tread off. Did $2200 worth of damage to my truck. In looking at all 4 tires the sidewalls were badly cracked and the tread edges were dry rotted. Tires were 3 years old, 30,000 miles on them. I replaced all 4. Shop tossed out the tire that blew the tread despite me asking them not to so little chance of putting a claim in with my Michelin. I do still have 1 of the tires kept as a spare but I assume all Michelin will do is pro-rate it towards a new one. Hardly worth it. I'm out the $500 deductible.
Michelin has a recall on some M/S2's for this exact problem but my tires were not part of that recall.
IMO thousands more truck owners would benifit from this type of info than the 5th wheel forum as the LTX MS/2 is one of the more popular tire on a tow vehicle and not one of the better tread pattern for using on a trailer.
You might post on the tow vehicle forum about the LTX MS/2 having a recall.
