Jim:

Did some searches and it looks as if it's a tire compound issue with the RE011's. It appears many people had them replaced under warranty.

Make sure you replace all 4 at the same time. I've read and heard that with AWD cars, if you have different diameter tires on the front versus back (due to normal wear and only replacing one pair) this will put strain on the transfer case due to the front and rear tires rotating at different speeds.

Good luck!
