No one told me about the splits before I bought 12 tires, including the
Hoosier "person" that sold them to me. When they split, I am told that
"they all do that" and that is why I received the discount. When I bought
them, the Hoosier "person" told me they where a discontinued size, not a
discontinued poor quality tire.
Lesson learned.
