Well, here in LA, they didn't get much "freezing temperatures". I sent the photos to the service advisor at the dealer to see what they say. The Stinger was at the dealer yesterday - still working through some of the warranty items I've posted about previously.
No, not common at all. This is the first time I've seen anyone with Michelins as scary looking as that!
Looks like Manufacturing Defects. I've seen retreads look like that back in the day, not modern tires with 8000 miles on them, I wouldn't drive on em! Looks like tread is going to separate from sidewall.No, not common at all. This is the first time I've seen anyone with Michelins as scary looking as that!
I just called Michelin and the auto system said I have to take it to an authorized Michelin Dealer for inspection. The local tire shop I've used for years is on their dealer list. It's 5 miles and I can use surface streets.
For sure. Just keep it under the "magic" speed of 50 MPH.
Replace in pairs. (edit: of course, reasonably a tire that got destroyed when it was close to new - well over half the tread left - could be replaced individually; a few millimeters of tread depth difference is not going to create any trouble)
I had an Audi A5 and was told they would only replace all 4 on AWD.
As far as a repair that should have been ok to handle unless they saw something else that warranted a full replacement

On my A6 Pep Boys said "all 4", so then I took it to the Audi dealer and they had no problem replacing the one tire.
I think its recommended but not required by any means, I guess it's subjective depending on where go, who knows for sure? But as tires wear they act and sound differently, which is why it's probably recommended to replace all 4 on an AWD?Especially if they are getting to the wear bars, you don't want one new tire and 3 really worn tires as it will affect the cars handling.
If your other tires were still very good then I don't see why they couldn't or wouldn't replace the one with the damage.
The guy at Pep Boys told me it was a corporate policy because putting one new tire on a AWD could damage the AWD system.
Not sure how to pm on here? Where are you located? I am in TXSilly question but is it a bad idea to order a set of brand new Bridgestone all-season tires to put on my rear while keeping the front half worn Michelin summer tires on? I do not need to replace the front tires since they have about 50% tread life left. My concern though is mixing different types (summer vs all-season) from different brands.
Gotcha! Thank you Merlin!
Great! Shoot me a PM and I am down to try to work something out!I am looking to replace the rear tires with something all-season since I'll be back in NY within a month or so. Thanks! (2020 Stinger GT-RWD-Staggered 19'inch)
5 hour oil change...WOW! Do they have to pull the motor? LOL!
Wrong reply, my bad!
