Michelin tires
We bought a used 2008 Built for Two one and a half years ago with less than 8,000 mi. on it. Since then we have kept it stored inside except for short trips. They now have under 12,000 miles on them.
We found on looking closely that the outer sides of the front tires are starting to show small cracks. Does this seem to be a problem with Michelin tires?

Actually the question is not whether Born Free equips there motorhomes with Michelin tires but instead what tires come as standard equipment on the Ford manufactured and supplied E350 and E450 stripped chassis.
Ford changed from Firestone Steeltex tires as standard equipment around year 2005 to Michelin LTX tires since that time. The sidewall cracking problem seems to be a frequent aging problem with the Michelin tire.
