Ive worn out some Michelins!! & mot pass

My silver estate passed its mot again today.... with advisories on the 2 rear tyres.
Had to have some "attention" sill wise, as the last mot proves the local guy botched the sill last year (you know who you are) so went to a real garage this year 
It appears i have actually managed to wear out some Michelins before they fell apart,  it was only 2 of the 4 on the car as the fronts had disintegrating sidewalls so had to be ditched eariier this year -you cant win 'em all can you.
Still need a rad for this one though, any help appreciated.

Well done in wearing out some tyres, they all seem to crackup badly before they wear out now. I had the same, 2 Continentals were on the limit so I changed the before the mot.

Hi Gerald, this seems to be a standing Michelin joke locally, had some 195 65 15s on steel wheels which had their original factory michelins on, looked perfect except when taking them off to put on a set of teardops for Xander. Only then could you see the cracking in the centre of the tread, certainly not fit for purpose-so actually wearing a couple out is an achievment.
Not sure what to go for now as only do 3000 miles a year!
