My Tiffin has 275 X 80 X 22.5 tires. They had a DOT code of 2212. We are about to take several long trips the spring and summer and the tires were showing some pretty bad sidewall cracking. After talking with Michelin, I was told to take it to a dealer to have the tires visually inspected. To make a long story short, Michelin sold me new tires for $112.68 each. Keep in mind these are $745 tires and mine were pushing 6 years old. I was flabbergasted, but deeply appreciative of Michelin.

I've always had good experience with Michelin tires. The obvious question is, . . . . . . why (what did THEY say) did they prorate your +-6 year old tires? Not that it isn't appreciated, but, was it a known design defect/fault (warranty issue) or something else?
