Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: During new york state motor vehicle inspection of above mentioned vehicle, it was pointed out by the licensed inspector that the tires on said vehicle showed an abnormal and excessive amount of cracking/checking in the deep portion of the tread(inner and outer grove of each tire). for a tire with these few miles and less than one year old the inspector felt that, eventhough they passed inspection, i should persue the matter further with regard to warrantee agreements. the inspector seem to feel that there was reason to be concerned about this tire if i was going to do some towing later in the year. i called nissan motor-filed a report with them-they sent me to call on bf goodrich-filed a report with them.-bf goodrich sent me to a dealer that handles there claims-he looked at the tire and told me that it was dry rot and that it was normal-i have since gone to another nys motor vehicle inspection station, they seem to feel that this is not normal for a tire with these few miles and this age..i have since been looking at tires of other vehicles with even more miles and do not see any cracking/checking to the extent that i do with these tires..can someone please help?*ak (dot number: apm1hl1123 tiresize: p235/70r15)
