Could this be a manufacturer problem? (Vredestein Sessanta tires)
Yesterday I noticed that my front right tire was a little flat so I inspected the tire and noticed these cuts on the tread that go all the way around BOTH front tires. I haven't checked my rear tires yet, but I'll have to take a look to see if they have these cuts too. I filled the flat tire with air earlier and could hear an air leak right after, but I can't tell where the leak was coming from. I doubt those cuts are deep enough to cause an air leak though. The last time I inspected my tires was about a month ago and I didn't notice these cuts. Could this be a manufacturing problem? I'm going to take them in to the shop I bought them from tomorrow and see what they say. I'm just wondering if anyone else had this problem before with these or any other tires.

I wonder if there's anything in my wheel well that's scraping against the tires. But then again, I haven't messed with my car's suspension at all and my tires weren't like this a month ago.

Your issue isn't listed and I think you may have just run over something or it was a bad road surface.

Ooops I forgot to update this thread!! Cux350Z was right, it was the cotter pin that was sticking down and digging into the tire every time I hit a bump. I just bent it upwards and problem is fixed
