I am curious, am I the only one having problems with nearly new tires showing stress cracks in between the treads that look like dry rot on barely used tires that are only 6 months to 3 years old, that still have most of their tread unused?
Mine are mostly Uniroyal Liberator, Goodyear Wrangler (on the Jeeps) and Michelin ??? on my sons ford, and I forget the brand on the Saturn, but they ALL came from Walmart. I have >24 tires with various amounts of stress cracks and even sidewall cracks on the tires that are less than 5 years old, some are only 6-24 months old and look like they are 10 year old tires but have little tread used on them yet.
I am seeing on the internet that Uniroyal and Goodrich are made by Michelin, and they have a huge recall underway on two 16" tires that was just issued about 5 weeks ago (mine are 14" and 15"). I am also seeing lots of complaints about these Michelin brand tires on the internet.
