Consumer Description

ALTHOUGH THESE TIRES ARE NOT OFICIALLY RECALLED YET, I INSPECTED THE OUTER AREA OF THE SIDEWALL AND NOTICED THAT I HAVE HAIRLINE CRACKS ON 3 OUT OF 4 OF MY TIRES!! THIS IS EXACTLY AT THE EDGE OF THE TIRE, ABOUT 5/8" DEEP AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE. IT IS JUST STARTING TO DELAMINATE AT THIS EDGE. I HOPE THIS RECALL IS WIDENED TO INCLUDE THIS DOT CODE. ALSO, HOW DO I FIND OUT ABOUT THE GOVERMENT'S LIST OF TIRES/ I WANT TO REPLACE THESE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE( DOT NUMBER: VNHLIPY457 TIRE SIZE: 23575R15 )
