Title: Cracks in side of tire... replace???
Post by: Jeremichi on April 23, 2004, 08:53:16 AM
My rear tire still has decent tread but I noticed some cracks on the side of the tire.  Should I replace this immediately?  Some of them are pretty noticeable.

im not a complete expert, but i would deffently say change those things...

leaving them on can become a huge hazard    the cracks will expand and then there done and you might be 2!

u can risk it, but i suggest replace

We recently tossed this topis around the board...do a search for the old threads for  soem more info...but overall, replace them, soon.
Tires are the only contact you have with the earth...lose them and the next point of contact is your body...food for thought
