cracks in rubber

Post by Jamie84 » Sat Apr 26, 2008 7:59 pm

I had a nail removed from my rear yoko today , while it was off i noticed on the inside of the tyre there is small cracks in the rubber all the way around ?

Other side is the same , wear is even across the tyre but these cracks looked a little concerning.

Tyres only 3k miles old , tracking ?

Old rubber tends to crack up a bit if its been on for a while.

Suggest you drive it harder, a trackday or two will sort that out. :wink:
