I had asked about tire cracks before and did not get a definitive answer on what is tolerable and what is not. Today when I had all 4 tires off and I looked real good at them..........
When does one start getting concerned about these and start a change out? I was hoping for 5 years but don't know any more.
Any thoughts on when to start the change out process?
Thanks

John,
I agree with Roger that the photos are of cuts, not cracks. I disagree that I see steel cord there, but YOU are in the best position to judge that.
I am assembling some photos of cracks so I can explain the borderrline between acceptable and unacceptable. It's a little complex as it matters where the cracks are, as well as there are different causes of cracks and they should be treated differently.
I'll bet that you - like a lot of people - are looking for a simple, easy to remember, covers all the bases, rule (singular) for cracks and unfortunately, it isn't that simple.
My simple rule would be - go to a tire dealer.
