New Truck Tires,, Well Kind of...

And it clearly states on the Michelin web site that their warranty does not cover sidewall cracking...

– Cosmetic ozone or weather cracking;

I'm not one prone to "I'll only buy/use this brand of anything" thinking, I shop around and try to make informed decisions. When I had to replace my tires because one was starting to lose air I did some research and ended up going with Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar. We have a fairly new Goodyear store in town and I was going to order them online and have them mounted, but I happened to stop in first and the manager gave me a price that blew away anyplace online, mounted and balanced. So I bought them on the spot. I was a little worried they might be louder than highway tires, and I don't like loud tires. But I had 30 days to try them or they'd replace them with something else. I really like them, they ride nice and don't sound any different than my previous highway tires. Plus they do better in wet conditions where the Michelins would slip, especially when empty. So yeah, I'm quite happy with them, and haven't owned Goodyears in ages.
