    I remember the problem with Michelins in 1980s, and I could be mistaken but as I remember, itmostly affected non drive tires---steer tires or trailer tires, or free wheeling positions. I never did hear of a reason back then, maybe this is it.

    All my problems were with drive tires, at least the ones I remember.

    What ever the problem was, their warranty was useless.

    The warranty on any tire is the same - if it fails they will pro-rate based on tread depth. If there is anything to interpret or discuss, they do that in their favor.

    They also will not cover any other damage to your vehicle, to another, or personal injury. At least without a lawsuit. (Think Firestone tires on "Exploders".)

    Have you tried the warranty on Michelins?

    Fired them 25 years ago. Probably got $20-25 credit on a $150 tire first time around, second time I said no more. These tires were in the last 1/4 or less of their tread life, so I got "tire value" out of them. After body and paint, of course I was in the hole.
