Consumer Description
2009 MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR ALL SEASON LUXURY TIRES P265/70R16 WERE PURCHASED AT COSTCO 12/16/09. WE WENT TO OUR MECHANIC ON 2/17/15 FOR A VIBRATION PROBLEM ON FRONT END OF OUR 1998 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER. AFTER INSPECTION HE INFORMED US THAT OUR TIRES WERE CRACKED ON SIDE WALL. IN ADDITION THE ROAD FORCE BALANCE TEST SHOWS SEVERE RUNOUT ON FRONT TIRES AND WE SHOULD REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. WE HAVE ONLY PUT 18,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES. MY TIRES DON'T FALL UNDER THE RECALLS BUT THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT FOR THAT KIND OF FAILURE TO OCCUR WITH SUCH LOW MILAGE. *TR
