Accord's Michelin tires poorly made

2005 Accord with Michelin "Energy" high-gas-mileage tires, 5000 miles on the odometer.

One tire develops a large crack in the sidewall. I called the 800 number on the warrantee pamphlet and was told that it was caused by a road hazard. If dry asphalt is a hazard, then he's right. I guess I didn't expect them to honor the manufacturing defect warrantee. I sold the 3 other ones as "take-offs" and bought 4 new all season tires with 50,000 mile guarantee plus road hazard (reputable brand). Owning a French product goes against my grain anyhow.
