On august 12, 2019 i purchased 4 ohtsu fp7000 205/6016 tires from eastern state tire & automotive center in west nyack ny 10994. i drove my car about 104 miles on the new tires, and on august 15, 2019, while driving on the nys thruway, 3 of the tires went flat. as per instructions from eastern state tire, i had my car towed to prestige tire & auto service center in kingston ny 12401. and there, prestige advised me that on all 4 tires the valve stems were leaking. thus, as 2 of the tires were damaged beyond repair, they replaced them, and replaced the valve stems on the 2 remaining tires that they salvaged. i do not know if the fault of these tire failures is in the manufacturers design/production or that of eastern tire of west nyack. i leave that determination up to you. i have the original tires for your inspection. i fear that if it is a defect in the tires, others may now be at risk. please advise?

Very unusual pattern of tread breakdown on federal formoza fd1 passenger car tires noted. note this is not the "super steel" model indicated in the database entry. the dialogue did not provide "formoza" models for selection. tread wear indicated over 3/4 of tread life remaining (car was rarely used), but car was parked outdoors in texas, and tires were 9 years old. breakdown of tread not likely caused by wear, but rather more likely rubber compound deterioration or manufacturing problem. the tread developed fissures laterally across the entire width of the tread (not extending into the tread shoulder), evenly spaced with a fissure every 3/8ths of an inch around the entire circumference of the tires. depth of fissures unknown. no event in the history of the tires or car can account for this bizarre pattern. the tires were judged unsafe and replaced. photographs were taken of the pattern of damage to the tires, as well as their identification numbers.
