PURCHASED YOKOHAMA AVID ASCEND TIRE IN APRIL 2013 BASED ON 80000 MILE TREAD WARRANTY. I NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE DRY ROT CRACKING AND TIRES VIBRATED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. BROUGHT TO TIRE DEALER. THEY REBALANCED TIRES AND SAID TO COME BACK IF CONDITION GOT WORSE. DROVE ABOUT 400 MILES TO BEACH AND BACK. ON WAY BACK HOME VIBRATION CAME BACK. NOTICED AN ACTUAL SPLIT ABOUT 1/8 INCH WHERE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL. TIRE DEALER REPLACED TWO TIRES ON A PRORATED BASIS ACCORDING TO YOKOHAMA. FRONT TIRES ALSO EXHIBITED FAR MORE PRONOUNCED WEAR THAN REARS DESPITE PROPER INFLATION. NOT HAPPY THAT I HAD TO PAY ANYTHING DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO RISK AN ACTUAL BLOWOUT. *TR
