This is probably by design. If you end up getting a new crappy OEM to replace one bad one, the other remaining 3 are bound to crap out on you too, forcing you to replace the one that is bad. Hence the vicious cycle of keeping the same bad tires. Not very many people can easily spring for new set of 4 especially with the awkward sizing and the higher speed rating. One good member suggested looking for individual ones for sale used or going to the wreckers. For those members who have removed/ replaced their stock OEM Michelins, maybe you are nice enough to sell individuals or even pairs to hapless TL'ers who have been victims of the Michelin "bubble" ( hahahaha is this for real??)

They should make a commercial with the bubble boy blowing bubbles on their bad MXM4s....
