    i bought the dakota destinys or destiny dakotas whatever they're called about 1yr 4months ago and have about 10k on them. today leaving work i noticed a dimple in the side wall of my tire and walked around to check the rest 3 out of 4 have them. also the ends of the tread are starting to dry rot. i don't know if when i go to pep boys to demand a refund? new set of tire? or what it makes me nervous to drive the truck knowing that a pot hole is going to pop at least one on me. any suggestions? i might be going there tomorrow after work or as soon as i can

    Solution: buy the ones I've got f/s. :cool:

    Seriously though - I'd bitch about that. tires should not dry-rot in that period of time.

    Led head/dtr lights.
    Do the tires have a warranty? That should be the first step.

    They should typically have a milage warranty unless they're an aggressive offroad tire.
