All 4 tires showing signs of tread separation. Not a part of the original Firestone recall. Have replaced all 4 tires with a set of Goodyear Wrangler ats.

Belt failure on all four tires. Spare is new/unused. 'have been babying vehicle driving habits. Tread is good but vehicle wobbles even after an alignment and repeated wheel balancing episodes.
