Goodyear, conquest tire dot mdj1agwr246, 195/65R14 size. Tires had ripped from inside along sidewall. Tires were originals on a 1997, Ford, Escort.

The original equipment tires on my 1997 Ford Escort station wagon are cracking on the inside sidewall or have cracked through to expose the steel cord. I have contacted the dealership who said that they do not warranty the tires and there was nothing they could do. I have contacted the local authorized Goodyear dealer where they inspected the tires and indicated that the failure looked like a manufacturing defect. They said that Goodyear would authorize them to give me a partial credit for the tires if I replaced them with another set of Goodyear tires but that they would not excahnge them for new tires at no cost.
