Upon attempting to have my tire serviced at a local firestone service center I was informed by manager there that all four of the tires on my vehicle were defective, tread could separate from tire, and that they would therefore not perform any service. All tires show cracking at base of tread where it meats the sidewall all the way around each tire. These tires are original tires purchased on new gm '04 Trailblazer in February of that year. There is very little treadware and tires only have 29,000 miles on them. Tire description: bfgoodrich open trail t/a p245/70r16. Dot ap9l 2e11 3303.
