I can provide dot # from photographs taken. All four tires developed 1-3 inch cracks on the inner side of tire approx. 1 inch above bead and including the bead on one tire.

All four tires show significant cracks along inside above and including the bead. Checked tires after hearing slapping noise from both rear tires. General tire dealer determined failure, but could not replace due to shortage of the tires. Replaced with michelon at my expense as Ford motor and continental tire refused assistance when contacted. Close up pictures are available. (dot number: adt0 44t tiresize: p275/60r17).
