Just a random thread for today. A friend/coworker of mine had these Toyos on his Mazda 3 for about 15K miles when he had a blowout. He took the car into the tire shop and lo and behold 3 of the 4 tires look like this.
What's going on here? My first thought is that the tread is separating from the sidewall. I could easily poke through the rubber between the two with a very small pocket knife. The tire shop is trying to get these replaced/refunded by Toyo under warranty.
