I keep seeing the reports on this thread and those with the checking/cracking seem to come from the south or very hot climates. Those with no reports seem to come from colder climates seem to not experience the sidewall issues.
Very very small sample size but I would love to see something like this sample on a larger scale.
I'm in Phoenix AZ. I replaced mine at 5 years. They had some very fine cracks/checking on the sidewalls. It didn't look serious, but I figured that 6 years of AZ Sun was enough. Great tires. Tow at any speed I want, many rough roads some severe overloading on one tire when a bearing spun, and not a single tire issue. Great tires.:B
