I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD MUSTANG (VIN: [XXX] ) IN APRIL OF 2009. THIS VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH PIRELLI PZERO NERO TIRES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED IN NOVEMBER OF 2008. IN APRIL 2010, I NOTICED CRACKS IN THE RUBBER IN BETWEEN THE TREAD RIBS ON ALL 4 TIRES. THESE TIRES HAD ~17K MILES ON THEM AND WERE 1 YEARS OLD. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES UPON REQUEST. I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BELIEVE THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT OCCURRED DURING NORMAL TIRE OWNERSHIP. SINCE ALL 4 TIRES EXHIBITED THIS PROBLEM, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED CASE AND THERE COULD BE OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE UNKNOWINGLY AT RISK.
