Do i need new tires
Getting ready for a long trip, 1500 miles up to N. Oregon, Denver, New Mexico, and back to So. Cal. I replace my tires in 8/11 with Michelins. One back tire is badly cracked all are showing some crack...

You should replace them.
First reason age
Second reason cracks
Much better to get them at a dealer you are happy with and not have to spend time on the road trying to find a place.
I run Double Coin tires from my local dealer.
nothing wrong with 6 year old tires my friend. The only reason I suggested changing is because he has the typical Michelin cracking sidewalls although as said mine have lasted 10 years (cracked Michelins)
Michelins are the most over rated/ over priced tire in NA
Even If I was as wealthy as Mr mark I would never buy a Michelin just because of the super high number of side wall cracking incidents I have seen over the years verses other manufacturers
I must admit, very surprised these tires haven't even lasted six years since install- I thought I was buying top of the Line when I purchased them. BTW, Michelin's Website says they are warranted for seven years (michelinrvtires.com) but a call to them says, no only five years.
