Are My Michelin Tires Dry-Rotting?
I had six new Michelin LT235-80R17 tires installed on my Dodge dually a year and a half ago and I now see what to me looks like early signs of dry-rotting Am I correct?

I bought my truck used and it had 22k on the odometer. It was two years old. One day I noticed this same type of cracking on my Michelins and googled it. There was a recall for this situation!! I then contacted my local dealer NTB and was told to bring it in for inspection. After looking at my tires and then calling the distributor they told me they would be replaced but with a slight cost to me. I think it was slightly over $100 for a four tire replacement or about $25 per tire. I let them do it and so far I have not had any problems with cracking on this set of Michelins. This was almost 5 years ago and 40K miles.
