Tires Cracking on Original Michelins

[Hokiefyd]

Those look decent for their age. The tread groove cracking is very normal. The sidewall weather checking, perhaps accelerated a little bit, but overall not bad. Are those the Michelin LTX M/S in P245/65R17? The tread pattern is identical to the Michelin Cross Terrain in P235/65R17 on our MDX.

Yes, and the Michelins truly outrageous tread wear means you are FAR more likely to experience this with them on your car.
