2007 Dodge Charger wheels problems

I purchased a set of nexen roadian hp 102v tires in july 2015, size 265/35/22. I recently went to get my vehicle serviced when I was told that I needed new tires and was asked to come take a look. All 4 of my tires had cracked around the shoulder of the tires, and the cracking was on the opposite side of the tire that I have no vision of. This is a serious matter that I wouldn't have never known if I hadn't taken my vehicle in to be serviced. I have only put a little over 20,000 miles on these tires and the treading is great which doesn't show any signs of neglect. The place I purchased the tires from agreed that the tires are in great condition, & the tires had the correct pressure in the etc. They also said that I'm not the first person that has come in with the same issue with nexen roadian hp tires. They sent all of the paperwork in to the manufacturer and they are the worst. Bernardo was very rude and trying to put blame on the customer (me) when he was clearly told by the place I purchased the tires from which are the same one's that took pictures of the tires and did the inspection that they see absolutely no fault of mine and that the tires are just defective. So then I asked for the dot numbers, and what do we discover??? The manufacturing date was stamped 4715, how could this be if I purchased the tires in july 2015? There is something shady going on and nexen needs to be investigated, my car has been at mccarthy tire for 2 weeks and now that the dot issue has been discovered no one has an answer to why it's stamped for the 47th week of 2015, it's only 52 weeks in a year which means I would've had to by those tires in november 2015. The reviews I'm reading on nexen tires are exactly the same issue that I'm having, what is it going to take before a recall is done on nexen tires?

My vehicle was released to me from carstar of macon with a knowingly inoperable TPMS on all four of my tires. I was not told this before I paid and drove away. I got 5 minutes down the road and felt violent shaving in the steering wheel. I turned around and drove the vehicle back to carstar and waited about 20 minutes for them to tell me that they were aware that the TPMS was inoperable. That they were aware that all four sensors were not working properly and that one had actually fallen out into the tire itself and was bouncing around in the wheel well knocking off the alignment of the vehicle. They gave me an option of fixing it or removing the sensors. I was told that they would try to contact my insurence company to see if they would pay for the damaged parts that were operating normally before they switched out the new tire wheels. Again they release the vehicle to me with an inoperable TPMS system and advise me to drive over 60 MPH.

Alloy wheels ( 17 inch ) with chrome center cap ( ram emblem ) are experiencing pitting and corrosion around center hub. This has eaten away the clear coat on the alloy wheels. Although this is not a safety concern at the moment, it reduces the vehicles value ( trade in ). Chrysler engineers need to redesign this so that corrosion does not take place. Same problem occurred to another owner's vehicle ( dodge intrepid 1993 ). Chrysler needs to make it right by refinishing alloy wheels.
