Bought some of these in May so 4 month old probably around 2000 miles on them, run at 7 bar rear and 4.5 front. Well within the limits for my weight 80kg.
Noticed lots of splits on them.
Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience.

I bought a pair of Michelin Power Endurance 28mm's in April. I've since done around 5,000km on them at between 65-90psi depending on the conditions. Side walls look in good condition with no splitting but the rear is starting to look a little tired. Quite worn and tatty in a few places where it's seen glass/flint etc.

Ive had tyres last a season looking like that (so 1000 miles or so)

Poor roads in this country finish off tyres real quick, although 2000 miles out of a tyre seems good?

I expect 1500-3000 miles out of a tyre, so that seems bang on ?

I run Michelin Power Competition tyres and get the same, although probably not quite so bad (but I'm circa 54-55kgs).

I keep thinking that I should take them off but they seem to keep going.
Descended Mt Ventoux two weeks back with no issues.
I have some others to try but they're winter tyres, will see how they get on.
I'm in France and the roads are usually good but it's often high 20s mid 30s so warmer than UK.
