Michelin Tires
OK I have them on my truck (bought last year) and was sold on them because they gave me $480 off do to the sidewall cracking on my BF Goodrich tires. They (Discount Tire) told me this would not be an ...

OK I'm not as much mad about the dollar amount they gave, just the whole 3/32 BS. When they sell you the tires they are rated for 60,000 miles. They also pointed out that the tire has "11/32" of tread. This is not a lie but it is BS. If they deduct 3/32 from the tires for warranty they should not say you have 11/32 of tread but 8/32 of useable tread.
As far has it being under inflated or driving habits, nope not either. The tires have never been run low nor does my DD beat her car. As for tire coatings, absolutely they will dry out the sidewalls and we don't use them.
Discount tire said that this is a known issue with Michelin's and BF Goodrich (Michelin owns BFG) and why he tried to steer me into a Yoko or Toyo tire (both BTW are made in the States).
My main complaint is don't market your tire saying you have x-amount of tread but then deduct 3/32 from the overall tread depth. If you are going to use the wear bars for the ending point then deduct that from the overall depth and say you have 8/32 of useable tread life.
BTW the old tires had a tick over 34,000 miles, again the amount of the claim was not the issue. The way they came to it was.
TNuts so you Google'd me? When are you stopping by for a cup of coffee and doughnut?
