The other 2 the sidewall pealed off in chunks. I have pictures of the tires.michelin offered 65% discount on new tires a year ago. 11 months and 10,000 miles later they offered only a 22% discount.

NHTSA complaint #10865685, filed 2016-05, 32,000 miles“Vibration felt in feet seat and is noticable in items within the cab of the vehicle. Vehicle has had tires replaced, driveline balanced.
