I AM SEEING A PATTERN OF SEVERE DRY ROT STRESS CRACKS IN ALL, NEARLY NEW (LESS THAN 12 MONTHS OLD) MICHELIN AND UNIROYAL TIRES IN THE TREAD AREA FIRST THEN LATER THE SIDEWALLS, AND EVEN GOODYEAR TIRES IN JUST 1-2 YEARS. ALL THESE TIRES CAME FROM WALMART. I HAVE THEM ON 6 VEHICLES, ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN BUYING TIRES FOR OVER 38 YEARS, AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM TILL THE LAST FEW YEARS. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND DEALT WITH QUICKLY. I AM A DEGREED CHEMICAL ENGINEER AND I DO ALL MY OWN AUTO REPAIRS, EVEN MAJOR REBUILDS, IN OTHER WORDS I AM VERY EXPERIENCED AND I SEE A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY AND CONSUMER ISSUE HERE!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 WHEN I HEARD A LOUS NOISE AND THAN THUMPING. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND LOOKED AT THE TIRE. IT HAD SEPARATED ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO SATURN DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIMED A ROAD HAZARD HAD DESTROYED THE TIRE. YES THERE WAS A SCREW ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE BURIED IN THE TREAD AND STILL THERE. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TIRE SEPARATED COMPLETELY ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE, LEAVING 2 SEPARATE PIECES. THEY REFUSED TO HELP, AND I BOUGHT ANOTHER TIRE, NOT A FIRESTONE. I FEEL I HAD A DEFECTIVE TIRE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P18565R15)
