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.

My question is to why a $745 tire had sidewall cracking in the first place? Also with what some consider to be a superior tire, including Michelin, would charge anything for replacing them.
As to they being superior in construction to warrant the cost, I've yet to find any engineering technical data to support this, but would welcome it with open arms and just in case someone out there, has found it.
