Description of the problem | 2018 equinox all wheel drive tires, michelin premier ltx m&s, size, 225/60r18 100h tpc bsw. All 4 tires are down to 1/32" tread depth at 16482 miles. Vehicle serviced 3 times by chevrolet dealer for oil change and tires rotated twice. Tires kept at recommended tire pressure of 35 psi. Tire rated by manufacturer for 60,000 miles. Tires evenly worn across tread surfaces. Chevrolet declined warranty claim stating tire wear is a tire manufacturer's issue. Dealer contacted michelin representative who states that there is a recall on the same tire with either a 16" or 17" rim size but not 18". Dealer relayed that michelin would replace the tires with same identical model however i would be responsible for 25% of tire retail cost as well as all taxes, mounting and balancing totaling over $300. 00. This does not seem right as i am sure that the 18" tires will also eventually be included in this recall. |
