| Description of the problem | Went to inspect the vehicle, upon doing a walk around i checked the tires and noticed that all for tires on the vehicle had splits in the sidewalls. The splits are about a 1/4 to 1/2" from the edge of the wheel near the bead of the tire. The splits are not continuous but reach nearly all the way around the tire following the line of the wheel/tire bead. At initial inspection it looked as if the tires had been cut, after looking at all for tires and all of them having the same cracks/splits you could tell that it was not cut and rather the rubber splitting. The tires have no other damage to the tread or sidewall from curbs and or rocks/rough roads. The tires were installed and used for approx. 4 months with 3,363 miles put on them since installed. Size - 245/75/17, load range - e, brand/model - hercules terra trac t/g max |
