At that time, the inspector brought to my attention that 4 of the six tires had cracking in the area where tread separation would normally occur. I use this vehicle normally to pull my fifth wheel recreation vehicle. Obviously, the tire cracking gave me much concern. Today, 10/10/200, I had all firestone tires replaced. Further inspection indicated that all tires show some indication of cracking. (DOT number: vnop1wv053 tiresize: lt21585r16)”
