Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My front tires, (from a set of four), have parts of the tread separating from the tire body. The rubber under the missing pieces of tread has a texture like popcorn. The inner surface of the rubber is shiny and smooth. dt it is not from gouging, force, or abuse to the tires. It is as if the manufacturing process used two different batches of rubber that was not incorporated together correctly, and is now separating from itself. This is clearly a manufacturing defect and should be recalled immediately! If a tire failure occurs from this defect at speed, it could cause a serious accident, rollover, head-on, serious injury/death. Please review his matter as soon as possible. Please contact me for pictures of the defect, since the website has no way to upload the pics.dt*jb
