yeah...thanks that is what I was thinking too, rot/UV problems. I will replace them this week. I think I was hoping to hear you all say that "you have defective tires, they will replace them!"

I have never bought tires for that vehicle and bought it new in 1993. I had about 50K on the originals then ford replace all 5 for free during that bridgestone nightmare of tires blowing up about 5 or 6 years ago. And have about 70K on the vehichle now. So I am guess I am due even though they have at least another 25K+ miles of treadlife still on them.
