2000 NISSAN FRONTIER Tires Problems

WENT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE TO GET MY TIRES BALANCED. MECHANIC REPORTED THAT 1 OF THE 4 TIRES (ALL BOUGHT TOGETHER) WAS BEGINNING TO COME APART INTERNALLY / BELT SEPARATION. THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED DURING OCTOBER OF 2019. THEY HAVE LESS THAN 8000 MILES ON THE TIRES. VENDOR IS REIMBURSING ME FOR THE ONE TIRE THAT WAS FOUND TO HAVE THE DEFECT. THANKFULLY THIS WAS CAUGHT EARLY, BUT AM VERY CONCERNED AS THE OTHER 3 TIRES HAVE THE SAME DOT NUMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN FRONTIER EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE PRIMEWELL TIRES, SIZE: 215/65/R15. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT A VIBRATION IN THE TIRES. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SIDEWALL WAS SEPARATED FROM THE THREAD OF THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

DURING NEW YORK STATE MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION OF ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE, IT WAS POINTED OUT BY THE LICENSED INSPECTOR THAT THE TIRES ON SAID VEHICLE SHOWED AN ABNORMAL AND EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CRACKING/CHECKING IN THE DEEP PORTION OF THE TREAD(INNER AND OUTER GROVE OF EACH TIRE). FOR A TIRE WITH THESE FEW MILES AND LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD THE INSPECTOR FELT THAT, EVENTHOUGH THEY PASSED INSPECTION, I SHOULD PERSUE THE MATTER FURTHER WITH REGARD TO WARRANTEE AGREEMENTS. THE INSPECTOR SEEM TO FEEL THAT THERE WAS REASON TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS TIRE IF I WAS GOING TO DO SOME TOWING LATER IN THE YEAR. I CALLED NISSAN MOTOR-FILED A REPORT WITH THEM-THEY SENT ME TO CALL ON BF GOODRICH-FILED A REPORT WITH THEM.-BF GOODRICH SENT ME TO A DEALER THAT HANDLES THERE CLAIMS-HE LOOKED AT THE TIRE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DRY ROT AND THAT IT WAS...
