THE TREAD CAME OFF TIRES ON TRAILER WITHOUT GOING FLAT AND THEY ONLY HAVE ABOUT 2000 MILES ON THEM, NOT DRY ROTTED OR WORN IN ANY WAY. I HAD THREE TIRES JUST LOOSE THEIR TREAD AT THE SAME TIME. THESE TIRES ARE CHECKED FOR AIR PRESSURE EVERY TIME THEY ARE USED. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TRAILER DELTA MANUFACTURING INC, SAID THE TIRE IS RATED FOR THIS TYPE OF TRAILER AND SAID I SHOULD CONTACT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE HE HAS PUT OVER 200000 OF THESE TIRES ON THESE TRAILERS. I HAVE CONTACTED ANN STOTT WITH YOKOHAMA TIRES 1-800-423-4544 AND SENT HER PICTURES BY INTERNET OF THE TIRES. THEY WANT ME TO SEND THE TIRES TO THEM BUT I BELIEVE THE DEPARTMENT OF SAFTEY SHOULD SEE THEM FIRST. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 15 DAYS LEFT TO SEND THEM TO DEALER. IF YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS I CAN SEND YOU PICTURES. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS DONNIEB@IGLOU.COM THIS COULD REALLY PRESENT A PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENS ON A CAR AND THEY ARE PASSENGER TIRES. PLEASE RESPOND SO I CAN SEND TIRES TO YOKOHAMA TO BE LOOKED
