H3 Tire Problems....

[Mr_Pat]

So these are my stock Bridgestone tires 33". The H3 has 15,000 on it and 4 of the 5 tires are cracking. The cracking is in the outer valley of the treds and goes around the whole tire.
Should this be covered under the warranty? Should I be concerned? Any thing else?

Dam ! I Have my H3 1 year 10 months 31k ,aired down to 18lbs too many times to count ,rubbed rocks ,curbs ect and Ny winters with salt on the roads ,never garaged and mine look great.

I would show it to the sevice guy at the dealer and see what they can do.

I have kelly tires on my 442 that were put on used in 1994 and they arent dry rotted.I dont understand why they dont wear out ,I spin them all the time.

I'm sure it's not covered under warranty - but i would definitely take it to the dealership and say WTF. See what they have to say. Maybe they will replace them for you.
15K is way too early for them to be looking like that. I know I wouldn't feel too secure driving on them. If they won't replace them for free, maybe they can get you a good deal.

To tell you the truth I am nervous driving on the highway with the kids, you know. The dealer is over 100 miles away and I talked to them by phone yesterday and they asked me to email them pictures, I have not heard from them yet...

Call them. Do it now. Express your concern with even driving it. Tell them you need an answer NOW on what they're going to do.
