All four of these tires are separating at tread and sidewall. A firestone dealer inspected them (yuddy's in portsmouth, nh) and told me they were all splitting. However, they don't want to help me and get in the middle. Maybe because I already bought four tires elsewhere. I still have the tires, and need to turn them in somewhere and get re-imbursement. These tires need to be added to your list as well. *ak (dot number: vdhl hla tiresize: p235/75r15)
