| Tire problems |
Tires worn to wear bar 2/32 to 4/32 in in 28,000 miles. At severe risk for hydroplaning and possible accident related to all tires with premature wear. This is second full set of michelin tires that have worn prematurely. The tires have been inspected by costco tires which is the purchasing dealer. I have called the manufacture also Aug 18, 2022. They have started a warranty but was told it would be toward purchase of new set of michelin. I do not wish to purchase their tires in the near future. I have been a customer with michelin for many years and have always been very satisfied but recently the tires are very poor quality.
Tire failure at low mileage. Tires not passing safety inspection after appx 20,000 use. Tread down to 4//32. Tires purchased at costco . Line is michelin premier a/s . Multi visits to costco to inspect after two independent tire inspectors stated they would not pass safety inspection with wear bares close to tread suface. Costco refused to call failure stating that is normal for this type of tires. The rating was at least 60. 000 miles. There was a recent road hazard that punctured front tire and costco wanted to charge for new front tire. Very unstatisfied with tires, frequent slipping and loss of traction on snow and rain. Unsafe.
