| 3 of the four tires, both front and one rear, have bubbling on inside edge with tread seperation. it sounds simular to the firestone problems. i find it perplexing that these tires lasted less then 37000 miles before they had tread seperation. as soon as i noticed, i replaced all the tires with another brand because i did not want to risk a blowout. it is difficult to notice this particular seperation because it occured on the inside edge of the rear tires. i noticed it only because something did not sound right and i located the faulty areas by feel. i am concerned that if this is a wide spread problem, some might not notice before the seperation becomes worse and/or a blow out occurs.( dot number: m6xobmwr24 tire size: p22560r16 ) | |||
