3 Tire problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2008

At a little over 33,000 miles I was experiencing issues with losing air in my tires on my 2007 Mitsubishi spyder Eclipse. The tires I have are p235 45r18 - goodyear eagle. One morning my tires would not even keep enough air in them to get to work. I stopped at the Mitsubishi dealership where I purchased my car and they told me it was too dangerous to drive on them. I asked about a warranty and they told me there was none. I replaced the tires because I was afraid to drive my car at the cost of a little over $600. Now I am having trouble with a 3rd tire doing exactly the same thing. There are cracks in the tires and this is causing the loss of air.
