damage, i.E., Sidewall cracking due to exposure. Tread depth was 9/32" on the 2nd failed tire and 8/32" on the 1st. New tires have a tread depth of approx. 11/32". Having worked as a ford field eng.

In addition, I read the tire warranty pamphlet that came with another vehicle that I own on the oem goodyear tires. The only statement regarding the age of tires was with regard to rvs and stated that if cracking of the sidewall is present to have a tire pro evaluate the tire(s). On neither of these tires was sidewall or any exterior cracking present. Further, the interior of the tires showed no indication of overheating or any other type of potential failure. I believe that michelin manufactures the premium tire and will purchase them in the future. In the past year I have replaced my wife's firestones & my daughter's goodyears(1995 cougar & 1997 mustang conv.) With michelins. I strongly feel that either the tires had a manufacturer defect or the contact personnel are unfamiliar with what constitutes a manufacturer defect. In either case, in my opinion, I feel that it is extremely unfair to the consumer-particularly when as a rule they have an exceptional tire. To add salt to the wound, I had to use the a tire(michelin x 230r15) as a spare with no problems. I retained the failed tires. I look forward to your reply and involvement..
