Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a set of michelin x-one tires in july of 1998. they had a manufacture date of 1998 on them. three weeks ago one went flat suddenly on the interstate. i changed it and took the tire in to the store that sold it to me and it was replaced. this last weekend i took the remaining tires off the vehicle. the sidewall was peeling off one (like it did on the tire that went flat on the interstate) - there was a bubble on the exterior side wall of another - and the last had a cracks around the tread and shoulder joint on both sides of the tire. (actually, all 4 tires had this crack between the tread and sidewall on both sides.) the crack was deep enough to show the tire carcass several places. there is approximately 5/32 inch tread on the tires. there is + or - 1/32 inch depth closer to the sidewalls. most of the tire patch had a depth of 6/32 inch. the tires were 205-65-r-15 size and were installed on a 1992 toyota camry station wagon.*ak (tiresize: 205/65r15)( dot number: tire size: 205/65r15 )
