Tire Choice review: Hankook Tires Splitting

I own a Mazda MX-5 and purchased four Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 tires on Aug 8, 2023 from a Tire Choice Store in Bradenton, FL (see attached invoice). I had 135,618 miles on the vehicle. I have regular oil and tire rotation done at Tire Choice every 5000 to 7000 miles.
On Jan. 12, 2026, I experienced a flat tire right near another Tire Choice where I stopped to get a repair. Much to my surprise, after the mechanic put the vehicle on a lift, he noticed several side-wall tire splits, not only in the subject flat tire, but on the inside of all the tires. I have attached some of the photos I took of each tire.
As you can clearly see, the faulty tire construction was an accident waiting to happen. I was fortunate it was not on the interstate when this happened as one or more tires could have blown creating a hazardous situation.
If you examine the tire tread usage in another attached photo, it shows there was considerable tread life remaining on tires with a 45,000 mileage warranty. The vehicle mileage was 157,102 which equates to only 21,484 miles on the set of tires. Considering the faulty tire construction, side splitting, and tire use at this point, I would expect Tire Choice to honor the Hankook warranty to reimburse
