My hercules terra trac a/t 245 70 16 are shredding near the sidewall. The 17 inch version of my tires were recalled but the 16 inch was never recalled. Hercules dealer refused to replace tire saying that I possibly hit a curb.

I just purchased a 2004 GMC 2500hd from a private party. I inspected the tires (cooper discoverer atr, lt265/16r16 load range e, dot#3dw8 c8c 2406) and revealed that the tread and sidewalls on all four tires were separating. I contacted the previous owner who contacted the dealer whom he purchased the truck from. The dealer told him that I would have to contact cooper tire company to resolve this issue. Upon reading the NHTSA complaints and recall history I realize that it is useless to contact cooper tire since NHTSA has not mandated cooper to recall the rest of the tires that were effected by the "bad robber" in 2006. I will have the tires replaced and place them in the garage for when the recall comes out after someone's life is taken due to a failed tire and a failed policy. I am just glad that I inspected them closely before I put my family in the vehicle, attached the 30 foot fifth wheel camper and had to click "yes" on "were there any deaths or injuries?" below!.
