Prius v

  • 93,000 miles
Yokohama avid envigor 215/50/R17 tread separation: Rear driver side tire developed a crack on the inside of the tire. Tires have 18,000 miles on them. Installed 12/27/2017. Crack resulted in air loss triggering the TPMS system. Discovered while driving on city street. Removed wheel and inspected vigorously before finding said crack. Contacted yokohama and gave them opportunity to take responsibility for the defect, sent them picture of crack but they refused to do anything about it, claiming it's a road hazard damage. When a tire cracks, this indicates weak tread and delamination of the tire layers (tread separation). Spent a week communicating with them (yokohama) to no avail. They adamantly refused to take responsibility.
