Cracks on tyres

[Matt e]

Giving the wheels a clean yesterday and noticed these small cracks on the shoulder.

Date on them is 5117 so not even 2 years old. Do they need changing or are the fine. Pressures are checked every week so that isnt the problem

That just looks like it's got warm, I wouldn't worry personally, but that's me

Someone will come along and have a good moan in a second?

Been driving too slow in the corners, get them edges worn!

yeah nowt to worry about imo, if they have pronounced cracking between the tread (so not caused by contact) then worry

 

[imprezaworks]

Seen way worse.

Be fine.

Normal imo seen loads like it

I wouldn't worry if it's ON the tread blocks, but between them, or on the sidewalls and I'd be getting rid. Michelin's are awful for it sadly.

Bit of 240 grit and theyll disappear

Yeah looked on google and Michelin were telling people its cause they are left in the sun to long which is crazy lol

Really?

 

[alistairolsen]

Yeah, worst I've experienced. Try finding 5+ year old Michelin's that aren't.

I found Dunlop sportmaxx to be far worse....

I did indeed send them back to Dunlop who, after about 6 months partially refunded me. No admission of guilt or apology though.

Reckon that's the last dunlop you will be buying then? What you got on it now?
