I finally was able to get the moho in to a Michelin Dealer and get the tires inspected for the cracking. The Dealer looked at them and said, "no problem, Michelin will Warranty them." He also stated he'd seen a few tires come in with my same problem. Repeating the description of my problem, this is apparently not normal weather/ozone cracking. The cracking is right along the lettering that is close to the rim.
The quote I got was Michelin will warranty $318 per tire. This is based on the amount of tread left. The new price for this tire is $365 at this particular dealer, so my payout will be $47 per tire plus I have to pay for the mounting and balancing. Dealer said he thought balancing was a waste. On large truck and moho type tires it supposedly doesn't do any good. At a minimum he said only balance the fronts.
In any case it's going to cost a little under $500 to replace all six tires including the tax and labor. Needless to say, I told him to order the tires.
Just got back from the tire shop with 6 new Michelin tires. Like waOmge stated, that was not normal weather cracking and Michelin took care of it. I only had to pay $67 a tire. Again, thanks to this forum, it save me a LOT of money.
