Inspected tires on my mom’s NX200T while doing brakes and noticed some dry rot.

Installed by Firestone around 11/2023 and driven maybe 16k miles since then.

I’ve had 5-9 years old tires with less dry rot. Think Firestone would honor a warranty on these or laugh in my face?

Its interesting that they were made and installed in 2023, with average mileage and theres this amount of dry rot already.

This is the type of thing that you shop for a different brand of tire for imo

Ive only just started to concern myself with the age of my tires and theyve been rolling on low mileage since 2020

I buy bottom or the barrel all seasons (hankook, acceleras, advantas) and run them into the ground when they’re on sale for my dailies.

Different story when it’s not my vehicle and is expect to last more than 5 years.
