I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN I WAS CUTOFF BY ANOTHER CAR ENTERING FROM AN ON RAMP. I HIT THE BRAKES AND SKIDDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 SECONDS. MY MASTERCRAFT COURSER A/T2 235/75/16 LOST LARGE CHUNKS OF RUBBER FROM THE TREAD. I PURCHASED THESE NEW IN FALL OF 2008.

DUE TO THE DAMAGE OF MY TIRE I COULD NOT CATCH THE VEHICLE TO REPORT IT TO THE POLICE. *TR

I OBSERVED CRACKS IN MY TIRES ABOUT 1 INCH OUT FROM THE RIM. ALL FOUR TIRES ARE STARTING TO CRACK OUT ALONG THE BEAD LINE IN A CIRCLE AROUND THE TIRE. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THESE FROM SAYS IT IS NOT DANGEROUS, BUT HE IS WILLING TO CREDIT A SMALL SUM TOWARDS A NEW SET OF TIRES. WHY WOULD SOMEONE CREDIT YOU IF THE TIRES ARE NOT DEFECTIVE. IT APPEARS THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THIS UP. MY FAMILY RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY. THE DEALER WANTS TO SELL ME A SET OF TIRES JUST LIKE I HAVE AND WILL ONLY CREDIT ME IF I PURCHASE FROM HIM OR HOLT THE TIRES AND CREDIT TILL I NEED A NEW SET.
