I have 4 gt radial champiro touring as 205/60r-16. They have all formed large cracks along the lower sidewall. The tires were installed 1.5 years ago. I feel that these tires are unsafe and at risk for a blowout. I cannot drive the vehicle due to these tires. The dot # is y9j5crvx4115 on all 4 tires. These are structural cracks not cosmetic.
