Dry rot is showing in between the tread of all 4 tires. The tires were purchased new from sam's club. Touring T/a dot (ap5M) (A721) (0212). There is 8/32 of the tread remaining, measured by sam's. I have had the tires rotated every 4500 miles. I asked about the dry rot and the manager told me that I wash the car too much. The manufacturer and sam's will not work with me to remove the danger of a blow out on these tires. They need to be recalled as unsafe.

I purchased 4 uniroyal long touring P215/60R16 tires from wal-mart. At 5,000 miles I had the tires rotated at wal-mart. After rotating the tires, the next day there was a tremendous vibration while driving. Wal-mart says there are flat spots in the tire tread on all four tires and this was caused by alignment and suspension. Wal-mart manager said to have alignment and suspension checked and then they would replace warranted tires. Alignment and suspension checked and found to be in order. Wal-mart manager refuses to change tire. Three tire shops have said the problem is a manufacture defect in tires, not alignment or suspension. I also learned wal-mart placed three different D.O.T. number tires on my car. D.O.T. numbers Y9xbvnuu1509/ 2809 and (2) 2909.
