| Description of the problem | Good year eagle rsa tires size 245-45r18 these are orginal eq. On my 2004 nissian maxima. These tires have developed splits only on the inside side walls of all 4 tires they have 32000 miles on them w/some good tread. I fear these splits will seperate the tread and cause some damage or an accident. The splits were brought to my attention when i had my tires rotated and balanced the other day. Yet on the outside side wall everything apears to be ok. This is possiblely a very dangerous situation due to the fact these splits in the side walls are only on the the insde sidewall of the tires. |
