| Description of the problem | (accidentally filled this out already on the vehicle complaint page, sorry) i brought my vehicle in for its 90,000 mile service and the technician told me both rear tires had cracks between the tread and the shell of the tire. The next day i took the car back to the installing tire shop for evaluation. It turns out all four tires had the same problem and were replaced on a prorated basis. This could have been a disaster for my son or daughter at highway speeds! The tires had only 20,200 miles and were 2. 67 years old. I expected more like 60,000 miles and no defects.
