Default Failing Hifly tyres - beware the cheap

I bought my FG XR6 2 years old from a Ford dealer in 2013. The dealer had fitted some FPV 18" wheels with cheapo tyres which I didn't like but figured they would do the job.

Just had the car up on blocks to change the coolant and noticed the inside walls of all 4 tyres are cracked. There's absolutely no way this car is safe to drive, and I was about to take the family on a long driving holiday.

The tyres are Hifly HF805 Challenger. They were manufactured in April 2012.
Wear is very even and at about 75%. They looked fine when the car was serviced a year ago. Outside walls are fine.


So to the Ford community I'm putting it out there that if you buy cheap tyres - keep an eye on them!
