    Went to dealer for routine maintenance and dealer indicated i need immediate tire replacement of all 4 tires because the tread is flaking off! The vehicle was parked in the service bay drive. There are visible signs of tread separations and gouges in the tires. My explorer has 28k miles on it and the manufacturer warranty says 50k. I believe this is a tire defect.

I dont think so. I have owned…
