|  Tyre Cracking I was out yesterday and thought I would check my tyre for both tread wear and pressure. I came accross the rear passenger side tyre has a crack all the way around the tyre. This is the original tyre from new and has done 15,000 miles. I think it looks like a manufacture defect ?

The car went for a service last week and they spotted a nail and I only realised this due to the white arrow on the edge of the wheel - no one actually verbally told me

| Re: Tyre Cracking I'll be seeing the dealer next Wednesday - assuming it can wait until then. As you can see mine has pretty even wear throughout the tread.

| Re: Tyre Cracking I had the same issues with Toyos that were a couple of years old (T1-S) in the end Toyo gave me some free ones after I mailed them some hi res pics. They collected them from the tyre fitter also for analysis.

| Re: Tyre Cracking I have to say though mine were a lot worse, cracking in between all the tread througout the whole circumference of the tyre.
