I ran up against a curb and the tire split on the sidewall. About 1 inch long, 1/4 inch deep. I've looked at two tire dealers who have the Michelin SUV tires but they have a different tread. Mine has a bi-directional tread, the new ones have a single direction and smaller pads.

Has anyone else run into the same problem.

Has anyone replaced a single Touring tire?

thanks

I had exactly the same thing happen when my wife was driving the car early on. I bought a replacement from Tire Rack for $130 and it was exactly like the Michelins on the car.
