Michelin Tire Facts From POG Tampa Show - davidbrady - 02-11-2018 14:43

Per a Michelin Representative Presentation:
  • Michelin has extended the Warranty from 5 years to 7 years.
  • The installation date determines the start of the Warranty.
  • The 7 year Warranty is prorated based on tread depth.
  • The useful life of a Michelin 315 or a 365 tire is 10 years.
  • The DOT code on the sidewall determines the 10 year life cycle date

so the 7 year replacement rule is extended?

Ernie,

I'm going to run mine for seven years instead if five. Mine were always cared for, never underinflated, no curbs, stored inside, and used regularly.

It's interesting that Michelin designs their 315 and 365 tires for a service life of 700,000 miles and a maximum of 4 retreads. Retreads are only permissible within the first 7 years of DOT date code life. Given this, I'm comfortable running my tires for 7 years.
