“Re: tires michelin xcx/apt 215/70 r16 DOT hnxo ekfx 4405 when putting air in my tires on 3/21/2015 I found all four tire sidewalls had a lot of cracks (one inch and bigger) plus a lot of other tire failure problems. These were not notice by Honda dealer garage on tire rotation that was performed within the last six months. Neither had I notice this since that rotation, the tire tread on these tires are still good. I am aware that there were no recall and these tires have expired so to speak. …”
