Everybody raves about Michelin which obviously are not budget but I’ve never had a set that haven't cracked on the shoulders.

yeah just cost you 3 times as much to throw them away , ffs tho a year , might have been 6 months if someone had checked before now

Avons and Dunlops do this too.

I've had BMW * rated Pirelli p7's now for several years and no issues so sticking with them for this very reason!

are you the corrado that used to reside in rendlesham?

With car rubber parts are degrading prematurely across budget and premium price points, it prompts the thought of a contributing factor - are chemicals added to road grit perhaps….?

my bet is the good stuff is taken out now

back in the 90s when i started driving i dont recall ever seeing a cracked tyre , they were just kept and used until worn out , ive had part worns /scrap yard finds and they just lasted until bald

so email sent to demon tweeks who supplied them

has any one ever had replacements sorted? im guessing no chance but happy to be proved wrong
