The tires are a little porous. It’s still in a position. They’re still going for this winter. For the next one, you need new wheels because they’ve been six years old.

Dramatically it is not, the cracks are small and superficial, the deeper layers that the steel belt will probably not be affected yet. Probably the tyres were driven only little in winter. Storage in the summer accelerates aging, because certain chemical anti-ageing additives in the tire are active only during walking movement, so when they are driven.

They are certainly hardened by the aging process, which primarily causes the adhesion to wet and snow. The adhesion in dryness can even be better in theory.

Nevertheless, it would just be a pity to throw these tires away with almost new profile. I’d drive her for two more winters, more cautious.

When you enlarge the photo you see the cracks clearly.

I personally wouldn’t drive her anymore because of the cracks and the age. The plasticizer goes out and he gets harder.

Plasticizers are in plastics but not in tire rubber

Finding at uniroyal.de

Since a tire should provide a good and safe driving feeling even in snow and rain weather,plasticizer required. These oils and resins make the tire flexible and thus improve the adhesion of the material. For you as a driver, this means: plasticizers improve the rolling resistance.

That would also interest me.

BET the profile blocks. Who doesn’t see them has tomatoes on their eyes.
