Description of the problem	4 high quality tires from goodyear: 2 sold in 2016 and 2 sold in 2017 for the same vehicle found to have the rubber compound cracking and showing premature ageing. All 4 titres sold, balanced and installed by goodyear outlets. Tire 1) purchased 03/12/2016 dot#davrcuer production date 0515 (week 5 of 2015) tire 2) purchased 03/12/2016 dot# davrcuer production date 4314 (week 43 of 2014) tire 3) purchased 01/15/2017 dot# dav8cuer production date 1715 ! Week 17 of 2015 tire 4) purchased 01/15/2017 dot# dav8cuer production date 3814 (week 38 of 2014 the tire model is 99h sl eagle ls2 vsb and were mounted on a dodge grand caravan for family use. We went back to the original goodyear dealer concerning this problem and were told that the tires were suffering from premature wear and should be changed. The recommendation from them was to change the tire after 4 years. The issue is that the the tires were already 2 years old at the time of being purchased as premium new tires at a total cost of $667. 45. So after just 2 years of use we are faced with the cracking and premature wear of the rubber compound causing the tire to become unreliable and subject to a premature failure. We are now required for our own safety and that of other road users to purchase 4 replacement tires at a cost of $640. 00 why are major tire manufacturers and their retailers allowed to sell to the public old tires as "new" ?.
