I was getting an oil change and the attendant doing the change pointed out a problem with all four of my tires. The sidewalls had multiple cracks in them. Some are an inch long and look deep. The manager of the facility said they were caused by the sun. I contacted Michelin and they seemed to agree. I don't believe it. All four tires had the same problem. I don't have my receipt any longer. The tires were purchased in fall of 2008. I think the cracks are dangerous and could result in a blowout. I read about 5 blowouts that occurred with these same style tires where the driver did not know what caused the blowout. Maybe the tires had cracks. Michelin does not make harmony tires anymore. At least, I couldn't find any for sale. Tread depth is about 7/32". I have photos that show the cracks well. I you want to see them, let me know.

2005 Honda CR-V. consumer states grinding noise and tire wall deterioration the consumer stated when the tire wall deteriorated it pulled apart wedging between the axle rod and tire and was beginning to shred the tire. A month later, she noticed the plastic tire wall on the driver's side had also started to disintegrate and was breaking down in a similar fashion. In early July, while driving, the plastic front piece on the grill on the front of the vehicle came loose and starting flapping up and down.

With only 6900 miles on our 2005 CRV one of the Bridgestone dueler H/T 684 front tires blew while my wife was driving at approximately 10 mph in her employers parking lot. The tire pressure had just been checked two days before the blowout. The air bags did not deploy. My wife sustained a broken neck, concussion, head trauma and a facial laceration which required a plastic surgeon.
