Default Speaking of tires, look what this **** Kuhmo did

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/50555/cimg8176.jpg"></center><p>i've been happy they've lasted 25k. but while rolling them around my garage, i saw this on the inside edge. yes the edge was getting more wear than the rest, but this is a delamination down to the steel belts! there are a few like it around the tire. it really bugs me 'cause i would of never noticed until a blow out. guess u get what you pay for in tires.

Default you sure it's delam? or could you have hit a bunch of potholes?

if it's all the way around you're probably right that it's delam. I only mention it because I wrecked a Goodyear on a pothole once and it looked just like your delam.

Default lucky you caught it off the car, rather than rolling. 25K is not bad mileage for summer tires

so i guess you can't complain...unless you take them back to where you bought them...saying that its a safety issue. get another set as a bonus maybe. i don't think i would buy them again. i had a set of kumho ecstas MX on before...didn't really like them.
