Significant deep cracks have developed around the circumference of the sidewall of the right front tire just inside of where the tread surface meets the sidewall. It appears that the tread surface is preparing to separate. My tires have 26,000 miles of light-normal driving.
Cracks have developed all the way around the sidewall about a half an inch down from where the tread wraps around on the sidewall. (dot number: jfk379 tiresize: p225/50r17).
