The service manager stated that all four tires were defective because the tread and seam completely separated from the tire to the point where the canvas was visible. The tires were replaced prior to operating the vehicle and the tire pressure was normal. The manufacturer was unable to assist. The failure and current mileages were 38,000. Updated 03-18-08
