Tyres Cracking (Yoko)
Discussion
I just wonder if anyone else have seen this, I have a 68 plate BMW X3 M40i that is just coming up on 3 years old
It was fitted from the factory with "Performance Tyres" not run flats, These tyres are Yokohama Advan Sport V105 not the best but factory.
I notice the other day that despite only having only 15k miles on them they are cracking, not on the sidewall but in the tread channels on the face of the tyre. Both of the fronts (245/45/R20) are the same but the backs are fine.
Any thoughts?

I managed to get money back off blackcircles for cracking good year tyres, and they pro-rated wear and tear for 5 years I think it was. Tyres were 3 years old so they gave me 2yrs equivalent back. I replaced them with kumho tyres which are now minor cracking and they are only about 18 months old.
I did hear something about parking on a concrete surface can suck the moisture out of the tyre but that seems, errm, unlikely to me, but who knows.

Thanks for the helpful and unhelpful responces, I did talk to Yokohama they were surprised and BMW who unsurprisingly could not give a toss.
Yokohama said if I get them inspected they will give me discount on the tread left against a new pair. But thinking about a pair of Michelin PS4s SUV for it.
