The defect

The risk
Sidewall separation can lead to tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
SNC will reimburse the total amount paid for replacement tire(s) up to the retail price of the recalled tire(s), plus a fixed amount for installation and rotation. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Shandong's customer service via email at service@snctire.com.
