Posted by KLIPZ22, Dec-01-02 06:59 AM
Over a month ago I noticed a little crack on my front tire (side) , I did not pay attention to it becuase it was about an inch long ,but this morning there was a crack that cover the whole tire and it was about an inch deep. What could 've cause this ??? I am glad I noticed before something happen. :(

did the car sit for a long time? Sounds like it dry rotted or something. Maybe that is tread seperation? What tread rating are they and how fast have u been on them?

how much are you lowered? Maybe the inner fender cut into it when the tires rubbed if you are really low. Doubt the fronts would do that tho. You'd have to be really low. Probably ran over something.

oil would cause your tire to crack like that if it isn't cleaned off.

tire shine will cause your tires to wrot away. speed ratings aren't actually for speed. they tell you how the tire is constructed. the speed limits they're associated with was for the government.
