| I went to have brakes serviced and discovered that all four tires have visable tread separations that could result in immediate blowout on any one or all tires. i believe this must be the result of manufacturering defect(s) for all tires to have same tread separations. has this problem with goodyear eagle ls tires been reported in other instances? dt | |||
