I have p235 sr60 15in tires on my van. Two have tread separation now. One
is bulging, the other is bulged and cracked enough to see the steel wires.
A third tire was replaced (on the front) that had enough separation to cause
severe steering wobble. These tires are failing after about 20k miles.
The dealer (COSTCO) gave me 50% credit on the first replacement. I'm going
back to get the other two changed also. These tires are so bad that I would
expect them to be under general recall. I've not found any news of such a
recall. Any one know of a recall? Has anyone else experienced this problem?
The small cracking at the edge is the precursor to tread separation. TNX
