Default Bad tires

Hi guys and gals i know this has been asked a hundred times. Having problem finding thread for any comments about the DRY ROT on the sides of the treads and also cracks in between the tread.
The cracks have gotten so bad they wont certify.
I'm very disapointed with the tires and at the point were they need to be changed or replaced!!! but need to know if any others have had the same problems and have had any luck dealing with BF Goodrich on this issue with the OE tires.

Would like to hear any comments or solutions on dealing with BF Goodrich and how to go about trying for replacement tires..

Thanks for input...

2008 F-150 xlt with xtr pkg with 67000kms black ext cab 4x4 came with the P265/75R18 114T BF Goodrich rugged trail T/A

tends to happen with 5 year old tires. Just get new ones.

4-5 years is the max you're going to get out of a tire before dry rot sets in. Sometimes it is quicker than that if you're in a region with drastic climate changes or if you park on dirt regularly.
