7 Tire Sidewall problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2001

Our good year tires that were put on the truck are showing tread seperation. The good year manufacture told us they would have us go to the nearest good year dealer and they would pro rate the tires. . . Why? it is their defect not ours. They would replace with good years. . . Why? we don't want them. Why should we risk going to another town 20-25 miles from here to replace these tires with possible defective ones again! for four years they have been covering up lawsuits and having silent recalls. . . To me. . . They need to replace them with what we want and where we want! it is our lives that our on the line! no airbags deployed, no one has been hurt thank god. All four tires show seperation around the rims. For all four tires to be replaced it would cost close to 800$. (tiresize: sidewall e)( dot number: tire size: sidewall e ).
