Default Re: My 2 front tires have cracks in the tread and some on the sidewalls

I have pretty bad browning, which again doesnt really compromise the tire but it sure looks like crap hah.

yeah that sounds like what the problem is. basically like a mild form of "dry rot" i guess you would call it.

not sure on the browning, i keep tire gel on them. i have had that happen on tires as well.

hopefully these will be okay to run though.
