We’re talking about 2 different things. The uneven wear over time is a low suspension settings issue that we have known about for years both on the S and X... This post appears to be about the tire defect where the sidewall actually starts to come apart, only on the Michelin stock tires.
I think the tire comes apart because of the excessive wear on the inner edge, which is caused by the factory alignment.
Most new owners were not expecting the excessive inner edge wear and were caught off guard when the wheels started to lose air.
After it has happened to them once, I anticipate they will be vigilant to not let it happen again with their new tires.
I would love to find out if anybody installed a non stock tire, not adjust the alignment, not inflate above factory recommended psi and not have inner edge wear. Only that would prove the fault is with the stock tires and not the car's setup.
My request for a picture of the inside of a tire was just for curiosity's sake.
