I bought 2 metzeler marathon me880 tires in march 2017 (300/35/18)(280/35/18). Both tires have less than 500 miles and are cracking at the sidewall. Cracks are on both sides and are getting deeper. Both tires have a manufacturing date of 2015. Here is a link to a facebook page with many people having this same problem. Https://www.facebook.com/groups/1871227146536817/ thank you

Searching the internet for solution I discovered hundreds if not thousands of similar complaints. Does somebody need to die before this is fixed?
