RE: Continental Tires
Chuck,

Thanks for the input. To answer your question they were about 5.5 years at the time of those pics. They started developing those cracks between 4 and 4.5 years and have just gotten worse. My son started complaining about the steer tires at 4.5 years.

They are all identical same week of production tires. Remember, this is only happening on the steer tires. My feeling is weak sidewalls on the over weight bus. I too have had many sets of Michelin’s that never looked like this. And I pushed them close to 10 years.

I’m thinking the LXi front needs stronger sidewall tires. That’s what all the Toyo converts are saying also.

FWIW,
