    Sidewall · Tires

    A mechanic noticed that the inner sidewalls on both front wheels were splitting (as if along the seams) on the goodyear weatherhandler 215/45r17.

Three separate mechanics from different garages had never seen anything like it, and confirmed that it did not occur from daily wear and tear.
