Tire Bulge problem #1

I bought a Grand Cherokee limited with michelin latitude tour tires on it. At 24,900 miles I noticed a bulge in one tire upon inspection of the other tires I had another tire with a bulge in it. The VIN of the vehicle is 1c4rjfbg9fc692266 the dot of the tires are ap5e 00bx 3814. I carried it to the Jeep dealer and they sent me to a michelin dealer. The person at the michelin just looked at the tire and said it was a impact bulge and that michelin would not cover that on warranty. I took it to another michelin dealer and he said he would have to take the tire off the rim to determine the problem. I contacted michelin and they were willing to help out on the tires whether it was under warranty or not. That tells me they know there is a problem with the tires and they want to keep it quite by trying to satisfy the customer so they don't report them. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle with these tires. I will not put my life or my wife's life in danger because of these tires. These tires will blow it is just a matter of time. I worked in a tire factory for 25 years and I have never seen an impact bulge. I have cut up and analyzed thousands of tires and no impact caused these bulges.

Tire Tread/belt problem #2

I have 34,000 miles on my keep I am the original owner and my tires have been rotated every 5,000 miles. The tread is cracking on every tire. Tire size is 265/59/20 fortera hl. I called goodyear and they will do nothing they say rotting is only warranted for 4 years. How can that be? it’s a 60,000 mile tire. I brought it to goodyear in jericho n. Y and was told by sean there is nothing he could do. I was also in touch with pamela pringle from customer support and she never got back to me. It is unsafe to drive on those tires and goodyear should replace them.
