1 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2021

I bought in 2019 4 brand new car tires (continental turecontact 225/55 r17) at discount tires still have receipt. Tires are maintained on a regular bases (rotation and alignment check). I noticed a vibration in my steering wheel and ask my garage to check alignment. He stated alignment is good but he saw on the 2 front tires that there is belt separation. In all my life I never had this happen before. I was told by my garage that looks like a manufacturing problem. This is dangerous and needs to be addressed and continental needs to be held accountable for this. I went back where I bought the tires with my receipt and told them they need to check all 4 tires for this defect. For right now I cannot drive the car until discount tires takes a look at it. These tires have an 80,000 miles warranty. If I wouldn't been so attentive to my car and tires I and its mechanical, I never would have known, that I am driving my car with unsafe manufactured tires. One question: how difficult is it to manufacture good and safe products? do it right the first time!!.
