Tire is a run flat type of tire and the wear of all four tires was severe on the inside of tire while tread across the rest of the tire was still satisfactory. Rear tire tread started separating and the vehicle had to be taken off the road due to the severity of the tread separation. Continued operation of the vehicle would have resulted in complete destruction of the tire and loss of control of the vehicle internet research indicates this to be a "common" problem with this vehicle and the manufacturer refuses to recognize the danger to the public.
