1 Tire Sidewall problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2012

I own a 2002 chevy Silverado 2500 on which I have four michelin ltx m/s 245/75-16 tires. After 18 months and 10,000 miles the sidewalls began to crack. I have michelin tires on all four of my vehicles and have never had one crack even on 6 year old tires. I called michelin, but they say that is normal weathering. Now they are cracking to the point that the tread could easily separate. My tire dealer is going to replace them, but michelin will not reimburse them as michelin denies there is a problem. I see from online blogs that sidewall cracks in this tire are appearing all over the country and michelin is stonewalling it. This is a life threatening situation which should be investigated.
