Tire Sidewall Problems of Lexus ES

I purchased and had installed 4 - nokian tyres one 215/55/17 on July 29, 2022. I brought my car to my Lexus dealer on may 6, 2024 for routine car maintenance. When inspected, all four tires had a circumferential crack on the interior side wall. They were deep and went virtually around the entire tire. I was told not to drive the car and replace the tires immediately. At that point, we had put 30,000 miles on the tires and there was still plenty of tread. We returned to our tire dealer, and when he contacted nokian, they said that this had been a problem with this group of tires, and although there wasn't a recall, they were replacing the tires for free on an "as-needed" basis. Our dealer replaced the tires, although I must say I am leery of this brand. In any event, there should be a formal recall on these tires.

The contact owns a 2005 Lexus Es. The front tires were bald on the outer area of the tires. The rear tires were dry and cracking. There was no front end vibration or loose steering experienced. The vehicle was not looked at by a dealer and the tires were not changed. The tires were bridgestone turanza el42 size p235/45r17. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was 16,642.
