Michelin ltx at2 tires. Excessive cracking. Tires with 30,000 miles on them and well over one-half tread remaining have developed widespread sidewall cracks. Cracks are more than cosmetic, you can actually feel raised bumps if you run your hand over them. The cracks seem severe enough that I am concerned about tire failures, particularly at highway speeds. Internet search shows many similar complaints, and evidence that michelin has been quietly offering discounted replacements to those who complain directly to them. I recently filed a complaint on their website but have not heard back. This problem is widespread enough that a more formal program on michelin's part seems warranted.

This is the second cooper discoverer h/t de-treading incident in several months. In both cases, tire pressures were inflated per specification prior to an extended trip and failed after less than 200 miles of sustained highway driving. All tires were inspected prior to the trip and no road hazards were cause of the tires de-treading. The first incident in october on highway 10 west was reported to nthsb. This second incident occurred on february 9, 2012 while traveling at a speed of 70 MPH on highway 10 east, approximately 130 miles from lake havasu city, arizona. On both occasions, the tires held pressure while the treads sheared from the tire. Both defective tires maintained the correct pressure after testing. It is also noted that the vehicle has never towed a trailer. The vehicle sustained severe damage in both incidents, with the first occurrence forcing the truck off the roadway and into a near fatal situation.
