| Description of the problem | While cleaning truck, i noticed hundreds of small cracks in the tire sidewall area on all four tires. All small cracks were on the sidewall that was exposed. No cracks were observed on the inner sidewall area. No failure noted as of now but i'm leary about keeping these tires on the vehicle for safety reasons. The tires are michelin xcx/apt truck/suv tires that were installed on 10/2004 and they have only 33,268 miles on them so far (60k mile warranty). The vehicle is a 2000 nissan frontier xe, v6, 2wd. The tire size is p235/75r15. |
