Tyres Cracking (Yoko)

[Paw]

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?

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.
