| Description of the problem | When inspecting my tires at 19000 miles, i discovered cracking along the inner sidewall for one my four tires. This is the only tire showing any cracking. I took the tire for review to the tire dealer, and their expert indicated this was indeed a defective tire, that the cracking was not yet detrimental to the tire, but that is should be replaced as soon as possible. |
