This has happened all in 2014-15 I will not let my customers drive on (essentials, sentennial ) tires pleas look in to this I no longer have any of the tire to give the dot # but all had 2014-15 build dates.
: the contact stated the vehicle was parked when the side walls of the two front tires were noticeably splitting. The tires were taken to a local tire dealer, who determined that the tires needed to be replaced and offered to prorate the tires under warranty. The tires were not replaced. The contact encountered a NHTSA recall # 02x001000 regarding the tires: tread/belt.
The tires are wearing out at an unusually fast rate. Vehicle only has 4000 miles on the odometer, and the problem started when vehicle had only 500 miles. The consumer is a house builder, and does not do anything unusual with the vehicle.
