2000 Nissan Frontier tires problems

“WENT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE TO GET MY TIRES BALANCED. MECHANIC REPORTED THAT 1 OF THE 4 TIRES (ALL BOUGHT TOGETHER) WAS BEGINNING TO COME APART INTERNALLY / BELT SEPARATION. THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED DURING OCTOBER OF 2019. THEY HAVE LESS THAN 8000 MILES ON THE TIRES. VENDOR IS REIMBURSING ME FOR THE ONE TIRE THAT WAS FOUND TO HAVE THE DEFECT. THANKFULLY THIS WAS CAUGHT EARLY, BUT AM VERY CONCERNED AS THE OTHER 3 TIRES HAVE THE SAME DOT NUMBER.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN FRONTIER EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE PRIMEWELL TIRES, SIZE: 215/65/R15. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT A VIBRATION IN THE TIRES. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SIDEWALL WAS SEPARATED FROM THE THREAD OF THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,183 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 319. MA 10/19/15”

“BRAND NEW TIRES WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES ON THEM, AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS THEY STILL WOULD NOT TAKE A BALANCE. OWNER DETERMINED BY SPINNING THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE THAT THE TREAD BLOCK WOBBLED SIDE TO SIDE AND THE SIDEWALL HEIGHT VARIED AS THE TIRE WAS ROTATED. VENDOR REPLACED TWO OF THE FOUR TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. *TR”

“WHILE CLEANING TRUCK, I NOTICED HUNDREDS OF SMALL CRACKS IN THE TIRE SIDEWALL AREA ON ALL FOUR TIRES. ALL SMALL CRACKS WERE ON THE SIDEWALL THAT WAS EXPOSED. NO CRACKS WERE OBSERVED ON THE INNER SIDEWALL AREA. NO FAILURE NOTED AS OF NOW BUT I'M LEARY ABOUT KEEPING THESE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE TIRES ARE MICHELIN XCX/APT TRUCK/SUV TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED ON 10/2004 AND THEY HAVE ONLY 33,268 MILES ON THEM SO FAR (60K MILE WARRANTY). THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 NISSAN FRONTIER XE, V6, 2WD.
