| Mastercraft sensys tires. 215/70r15. a complete set of four tires had the treads separate. resulting in a potentially very dangerous situation. when a complaint was filed with the wholesale supplier williams tire (of 3995 dorchester road, charleston, sc. 843-554-0700 fax=5541334) they stated they have not had any other complaints---but they confused me with someone else who had also complained---leading me to realize that there have been other complaints about this matter. i feel that my 4 tires cannot be the only ones. there must be more of these dangerous tires on the road. *nm | |||
