The cracking you're seeing around the edge is from running an under inflated tyre.

Interesting ... as we reasonably regularly check tyre pressures. How much under-inflation and for how long before such cracking occurs? (The tyres never look "soft").

As it’s seemingly across all 4 tyres I would suspect it’s more likely to be just normal weather ageing. You might see it a bit quicker than normal due to low usage. I doubt all 4 tyres are under inflated and indeed the suggestion is they are cracking all over not just round the edge which again suggests weather ageing.

Thanks for the updates. I guess it's "one of those things" and we'll need to factor in getting replacements sooner than we'd have necessarily wanted.
