Has anyone had the same problems with the side walls cracking? I noticed mine after I bought it 8 months ago. Last week I took a 2000 mile trip from Fl to NC, after 500 mile the fronts lost 20-30 lbs every fill up. So I put the spare on and the same problem!

 

Talk to the dealer. I'm curious what their response will be. I have friend with a new F@#d, and his BFGs are doing the same thing.

 

I had a set warrantied last spring because of sidewall cracking. If I remember they had 1/2 tread left and I was reimbursed for the remainder of the tires. I don't remember the actual price but around 100 dollars a tire is what I paid for the replacements. They also had steel showing through the tread in some places. I believe they had 50k on them.

 

I have the same issue - 2006 2500 with Michelins. Dealer said Michelin warrants the tires - not the dealership. Looks like I need to take a trip to the local tire shop and find some replacements.

 

Ive got the michelins.Havent lost any air but Ill be checking for cracks.Have almost 13000 miles 3/4 empty,1/4 towing.

 

Ramtuff.... who did you take the tires back to for the warranty?

So far so good! call 800 370-2828, the number that came in your warranty package. I talked to Michelin today, they sent me to a local sears tire dealer who does tire warranty inspections, they inspected my tires called Michelin. Michelin said they would give me 3 new tires and charge me 25% for the two others(the rear tires had less tread on them Burn Outs ) so 5 new tires for about $200.00. My tires had 10000 miles on them.

 

I had the same problems with the Michelins on my 2004.5. Michelin said they will Pro -Rate them. When I took it to a tire dealer. They still wanted to charge me 550.00 to get new tires. And the tires were not even half gone. So when I got back in touch with Michelin. They said they could not help me any more from there. They seem like a decent tire for towing my Fifth wheel. I think because of the E rating. But they did not do well for traction of any kind. I ended up getting a house brand All-Terrain tire from my local Alton's and have had not problem so far. Michelin kinda left a bad taste in my mouth and will probably not buy another set from them again.

 

I had the same problem on my 06. I actually bypassed the dealer and talked to Michelin. They were great, told me to take it to a tire center and have them replaced. When I got there told them I wanted a different tire and they said I could pick BF Goodrich and one other one I forget now. Had them put on some E rated All Terrains, they even replaced the spare for me!

 

Im going in to sears on tuesday, Im going to call Mich to see if I can get the Bfs also. Thanks for mentioning that!

 

Well, sears and michelin said I could pick either brand, and any size. So Im going to a 285 70 17 bfg all terrain D rated. My question is on the D rating, do I need the E? Sears said the D will last longer? any ideas? Thanks

 

I just noticed lots of fine cracking around the rim area on all mine while washing it this weekend. I don't need that kind of worry hauling a heavy trailer. Sears is across the street, they are going to get a look at them. 10,000 miles on them.

 

My new 07 has Michelins. Hope I don't have problems. I don't trust anything that the French have touched, looked at, or even breathed on.

 

I noticed the cracking last week. I have a month old 06 Qc 4x4. I called Michelin today, after reading this thread. They were helpful at the company, but I took the truck into one of the stores they suggested and I think I got the blow off. One guy said no big deal and the other was supposed to call michelin and call me back. I didn't hear from him yet. I guess we'll see.

 

After reading this I checked mine out last night and they have small cracking on sidewalls with 37,000 on them I'm screwed.
