    Cracked sidewalls are the concern, but on the main tread area there are multiple layers of different rubber/material, that cracking is merely on the surface.......

    If on the other hand, those we're cheap made in China budget tyres, then i'd be much more concerned.

    ...which IMHO should be 3mm across the whole tread anway.

    Difficult when, on modern tread patterns, the shoulder tread is often 2 or 3mm shallower than the rest. That would entail throwing them away when they've still got 5mm+ where it really matters!

    my original CPC2's on a suzuki swift have similar cracks as well, only done 22000 miles from new by me and the previous owner , tyres made in 10th week 2011. About 3mm in the fronts and 5mm at the backs. suppose it's a common issue with this model
