| Description of the problem | B. F. Goodrich rugged trail t/a tires started cracking in the tread crown at 13,000 miles on all four tires with 9/32" of tread left. The cracks run longitudinally along the tread on both the outer and inner side of the tread. I have inspected other toyota tundras with the same tires that are also cracking. Now at 16,000 miles the tires are making a loud rumbling noise and the cracks are growing larger and longer. Both michelin and toyota were notified and both refused to take appropriate corrective action. |
