Tread Cracking

Damage Description: Tread Cracking

NISSAN CODE: 7A





DEFINITION:
Fine longitudinal cracks appearing on the bottom of the tire grooves which do not penetrate into the cord material of the tire (Figure 8).

MAJOR INSPECTION POINT(S):

Check all the vehicle tires. If there are only one or two "cracks" in the tire groove, or if the "crack" continues up the side of the groove wall, the cause of the "crack" was a cut inflicted by a road hazard, and is not warrantable.
