Description of the problem	Approximately a year ago i purchased four (4) new firestone control plus tires. The tread belts are separating and you can see large cracks into the tires. The tires have approx. 75% thread life. I have never owned tires of this questionable quality. Hopefully, firestone does not want to be contributing to highway deaths?
