Consumer Description

1/2 IN FROM THE RIM THE TIRE LOOKS LIKE SUN ROT AS WELL AS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SIDEWALL, IT IS CRACKED AND SPLITTING AON THE FRONT AND BACK TIRE, MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IF THE TIRE GETS HOT THE FRONT AND BACK WILL BLOW OUT, THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE 26000 MILES ON THEM, I HAUL A HORSE TRAIL AND A CAMPER AND AM VERY CONCERED ABOUT A BLOW OUT , WHILE HAULING A LOAD. BOTH TECHS THAT LOOKED AT THESE TIRES SAID THAT THE CRACKING AND SPLITTING IS NOT RIGHT? CAN YOU GIVE ME ADVICE TO HELP ??*AK
