205/65R16C 107/105T Achillies Mulitvan Both front tires on vehicle failed along the entire inside sidewall approximately 1” from the rim. They cracked all the way through the rubber about 1/4” wide exposing the sidewall ply's. The tires were purchased in March of 2023 and have roughly 6000 miles on them. The outside sidewall was in perfect condition. The cracks were observed during a routine pre trip inspection. The cracks are so deep that the tires sidewall could blow out catastrophically. The fact that both inside sidewalls were compromised and not readily visible made this especially dangerous.
