Beemax Celica ST165 Monte Carlo - rubber tires issue

Here's what I got from the kit. All 5 rubber tires were cracked at the point opposite to the injection point. Obviously this is because the injected material had been cool down inside the mold, that say, a incorrect molding temperature or demolding time.

So remember to check your kit!!

I would send an email and photo to the manufacturer as that is unacceptable
