I bought mine at Costco and have the same cracking issue. I was worried about it so I went back to cost and the manager told me it was from applying a tire dressing. I am pretty upset about it because I have a lot of tread left. The tires are rated for 70,000 miles.

I was just checking the pressure in my Michelin LTX LT265/70R17E tires and noticed all four are starting to crack. The cracking covers a band about one inch wide starting about one inch from the rims around the entire tire.
The date code is 0712 making the mfg date February 2012. I purchased the truck new in April 2103.
Going back to the dealer tomorrow. Anyone have a similar experience?

Be prepared for Michelin dealer to do nothing, tell you it's 'surface crazing' and not a concern, suggest it was caused because you used a tire dressing containing petroleum distillates, or you failed to clean and maintain them, whatever that entails. I heard all of these 'reasons' from the local dealer when I questioned the cracking, especially near the rim/bead 'interface'. And, they did nothing.
Why the current set of Michelins on my Ram 3500 will be my last, not to mention they are nearly $300 each in the required size now.

thomasmnile,
did you use tire cleaners on your new set of Michelins?
