This happened to all of my tires that were not even 3 years old yet. I purchased my used vehicle from Anderson Nissan in Lake Havasu City AZ a year and a half ago. The Scorpion Perilli Tires 235 45/R19 on my vehicle seemed to be like new. Starting in December is when I started to have problems my low tire pressure light came on and I took it to America Tire Company in Cathedral City CA and they put air in the tires told me if i had any issues with the tires to bring it back. I had to return several times 8 times regarding the low tire pressure. There was a small leak between the tire and rim when they submerged the tire in the water and it took me the customer to find the problem. I thought they had fixed the issue. January 2025 came around had issues again then I took it back in they found a nail in it. They put a patch on it. I had to take it back 8 more times after that. Leading up to [XXX] my low tire pressure light came on again pulled in they put air in my tires. Last month in August I had to take it back in for the low tire pressure light which was a Saturday made the appt for Monday and they had to replace my tire due to they could not fix it. It had a small hole next to the patch and had another screw it. When I got home I had taken pictures of all my tires and noticed they had splits in all the grooves all the way around the tire and the middle of the tread of tires. The were manufactured defect tires and I had to take my car back to America Tire Company to have them all replaced. They told me that if the tires are not safe we do not let you leave the store. They let me leave the store on the tires that look like that. I travel from CA to AZ and I did not feel safe. No lawyer will take the case if you have not been injured or in an accident.
