Tire problem #1

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Mustang equipped with goodyear eagle tires, size: p215/60r17 (na). Soon after the vehicle was purchased, all the tires were found to be dry rotted. The tires also began to peel and crack. The contact attempted to have the tires repaired. They vehicle was taken back to carmax kearny mesa (7766 balboa Ave, san diego, CA 92111, (858) 712-6486 where the mechanics agreed to service the tires. When the contact took the vehicle back, the dealer refused to repair the tires because chunks of the tires were not falling off. The tires were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN and dot number were unknown. The tire and vehicle failure mileage was 64,708.

Tire problem #2

I purchased a 2010 Ford Mustang (VIN: [xxx] ) in April of 2009. This vehicle was equipped with pirelli pzero nero tires that were manufactured in November of 2008. In April 2010, I noticed cracks in the rubber in between the tread ribs on all 4 tires. These tires had ~17k miles on them and were 1 â½ years old. I can provide pictures upon request. I am reporting this problem since I believe that it could potentially be a safety hazard and it occurred during normal tire ownership. Since all 4 tires exhibited this problem, I do not believe that this is an isolated case and there could be other owners that are unknowingly at risk.
