Tire Problems of Chevrolet Volt

On all (4) tires, there is cracking in the sidewalls in a line about 2 inches above the tire bead around each tire. Approximately 19k miles on these tires. Manufacture and supplier/seller (priority tire) both sent multiple photos of issue, tread depth, etc. And then denied any warranty on the tires due to 'improper usage' (reply below) I asked the supplier/seller and the manufacture what that means and no reply. Tires are consistently rotated by myself and tire pressures consistently maintained. I am [xxx] and don't race or off road my Volt. This could be a potential safety issue if one or more tires were to fail unexpectedly. Please see photos and thank you for your help. Hello, we are reaching out regarding your warranty request. Unfortunately, the manufacturer/supplier declined your warranty request, as they inspected the issue, and determined that the cause of damage on your tire is improper usage. We are sorry that we could not help you any further. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for your understanding, and once again, apologies for the inconvenience.

This note is supplemental to NHTSA #10940031 of 1/1/17. The tire that had just replaced the second failed tire also sustained damage deemed to be unacceptable to repair only about 200 miles after it was installed. Given 3 of these tires failed very prematurely over 7. 5k miles, never mind 2 in 200 miles, this suggested to me a possible atypical weakness in the design of these tires so I scrapped all 4 fuel max tires and replaced them with the far superior goodyear assurance tripletred tires. Having put 70k+/- miles on a set of previously owned tripletred tires without a single failure under virtually identical conditions to those I used the fuel max tires under I can state with confidence that they are much more damage resistant tires than the fuel max version of the assurance line in addition to having noticeably greater/safer traction in rain and snow.
