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 would accept the 70% and get replacements. But then get ready to pay for mounting, balancing, disposal fee, tax, etc. So the 70% really comes down to 50% anyway.
But the biggest problem with the 70% bis you are required to replace the bad tires with exactly the same tires that gave you a problem in the first place.
But then again, I have OEM Continentals on my F-350. Only 23,000 miles and almost down to the wear bars. Rotated every 5000 miles. And 10,000 Miles of towing our 5'r. The OEM brake pads are about shot too.
Not complaining. I'll just replace with quality parts. And get on with life.
