For those with 365 tire failures,
If you've had a 365 tire failure Michelin wants to know. Their point person is Pat. She was the representative that presented at the West Palm Beach show. Her email address is pat.meisenholder@michelin.com Date code of the tire, date of failure and specific failure will help her out.
Given the Michelin tire warranty went to 7 years from 5 and is prorated on remaining tire depth, you may be reimbursed substantially for the replacement. Keep in mind, the warranty requires you to bring your failed tire to an authorized Michelin retailer.
As I've suggested before, you should run your 365 tags at somewhere around 100psi and raise your tag when you can for tight parking situations. As with any tire, they don't like being turned when they aren't rolling. Given the 365 tire is constructed as a super single, it must roll to stay together. Michelin recommends the tire get to operating temperature once a month or so. The construction of a super single is suppose to shed the tread for some failure modes. This may suggest why the last outer tread is coming loose on many failures, especially on tags. Of course the reason isn't as important as them finding a fix.
