| Description of the problem | 2008 jeep srt8 purchased in december 2009 with brand new tires. Less than 30k miles and found front tires separating on inner edges with plenty of tread left and alignment within specs. I found this yesterday when i decided to do some maintenance repairs as i am a jeep technician and i work at a chrysler dealership. The front tires are completely separated with threads exposed. This is extremely dangerous as i drive this vehicle with family at highway speeds. I have pictures if necessary and can provide alignment specs. I am a member of the jeep srt8 forum and this is a common issue with many members. |
