| Description of the problem | Notice of possible tire cracking condition received through the mail suggest looking at tires. Looked at tires saw no cracks . A few months later a tire was flat even though it looked like good thread wear and a second tire was slowly losing air. The flat tire had several cracks on the inner side of tire sidewall. We contacted the goodyear company and they suggested going to a goodyear dealer and have them inspect the tires. After going to the suggested dealer,they confirmed that all the tires were cracking and suggested not riding on them. The dealer said they had a file number for this inspection from goodyear. The dealer also said the tire replacement would cost more than $1,100. 00 and that was only an estimate. |
