2017 Equinox came with Michelin latitude tour X tires. After less than 2 years (30,000 miles), tire sidewalls are severely cracked. I have never seen a tire degrade as badly as these have. The factory in poland must be using substandard materials to make these tires. Dot B53T 031X 4516. According to Michelin, I will be responsible for at least 80% of the replacement cost. I always thought Michelin was a high quality company but after seeing how these tires are falling apart, I no longer think that.
