[T3] Tire failure?

Well sorry I did not see the posts before or Google it.  Guess that is what I get for being up late...  At least I spelled Michelin correctly. ;)


Thank you,

Only way I caught this before making a trip was a friend asking about which tires where going to be replaced.  Still a bit shook up that I had not had it separate on the previous drive, or that I drive it again; it would not have had good results being on the front.
