I am concerned about the tires on my 2012 Challenger SRT8
I have 1,400 miles on the stock tires Good Year Eagle F1 supercar, front 245/45/ZR20 and rear 255/45/ZR20.
After detailing the car I noticed cuts or separations in the sidewalls at the end of the tread area. I have been an auto mechanic for over 20 years and I have never seen anything like this.
I took the car back to the dealer today and they have never seen this either. They recommend I change all 4 because all 4 are separated the same way, some worse than others. Funny thing is I noticed when they showed me the price for the four tires they were not the factory Good Year tires. I told them I felt it was a problem with the tires and that I should not have to pay to have them replaced. The air pressure is set at the cold recommendation of 32 PSI. I checked the air pressure after driving home which is about 40 miles and the PSI was 47 PSI, pretty normal I would say. I have not driven the car in any extreme manner like hard cornering or anything like that. The dealer service rep said they will get back to me??? I will post any results. Does anyone have the same or similar issue? I have some pictures can someone tell me how to attach pictures? Thanks.
