Sportage 4WD

The sidewalls of the factory tires were cracking. Went to a general tire dealer and they installed 5 new tires under warranty. The manufacturer had sold the rights to the general name to a Korean tire co. The factory tires are not made in the us tires. They were aware of this problem and gave us the new tires quickly.( dot number: )
