I suspect this is because the tires must have been under-inflated 10 psi by the previous owner?
My co-worker told me that they be under warranty... but I don't have documentation to prove they were recently purchased by last owner...
So than maybe there's a recall on this model of Michelin wheels? When does Michelin make wheel?
Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus Grand Touring All-Season
Any know anything about this? or should I contact Michelin.
I'm just worried of driving and having the tire blow on me. and than anything could happen.
Thanks for your inputs on this thread...

Your use of wheels/tires/rims confuses me
Under inflated would cause pre-mature wear on the inner of the tire, especially with the negative camber setting on an X5. I don't think it has anything to do with those cracks that you see. You might have dry-rot on your tires as DTMdan said.
