THESE TIRES ARE PRONE TO SIDEWALL CRACKING ON BOTH SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRE. IN CERTAIN SERVICE CONDITIONS WHERE EXCESSIVE FLEXING OF THE TIRE SIDEWALL OCCURS THE CRACKING COULD EXTEND TO THE BODY PLY CORDS. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO THE DEGRADATION OF THE BODY PLY CORDS AND LOSS OF INFLATION PRESSURE. THE LOSS OF INFLATION PRESSURE COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO RUN UNDER-INFLATED AND RESULT IN EARLY TIRE FAILURE.
