1 Tire Sidewall problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2013

I bought 4 goodrich longtrail ta 60,000 miles tires for my nisssan SUV x-terra, 2 tires bought from tire kingdom on 1/3/11 (invoice # [xxx]?ri )when my vehicle mileage was 131,050, & 2 tires bought 9 days later from firestone on 1/12/11 (invoice # 116904) when my vehicle mileage was 131,190 (I have both receipts). I bought the tires at local establishments (2 bought at firestone on 49th street north in pinellas park, FL 33781 phone: 727-544-6601, and 2 bought at tire kingdom in tyrone blvd in st. Petersburg, FL 33711 phone: 727-345-2404). While cleaning my car and washing the tires on 1/18/2013, I noticed that the drivers front tire is cracking where the tread meets the sidewall. I am very concerned for my life and that of any passengers, since this should not be happening to tires that are just 2 years old. My auto mileage as of 1/20/2013 is 142,343. This means in two years since I bought these tires, I have traveled only 11,293 miles. I am now concerned for my life and that of any passengers with these goodrich manufacturer defective tires. These are extremely dangerous defective tires, which rubber is crackling and I am very concerned the tread will separate from the sidewalll causing a blow out and a threat to life. This is the only vehicle I have. On 1/19/2013 I went to firestone and pointed out the defect showing already in one of the tires. N/c on invoice # 139939 dated 1/19/13 rotation of tires not done and defect complaint not fixed.
