...OK, so the front does have 13,500 miles on it, but it was mounted just less than a year ago, is not quite at the wear bars (center tread) and was manufactured week 12, 2008...so I wouldn't expect to see this type of cracking, one side only, over about a 45? arc starts small either side and peaks with the size crack you see in the picture (when enlarged).
I planned on changing it in the next 1,000 miles but just wondered what would cause this and whether others have seen the same thing.
BTW - I inspect tires every couple of weeks or so for wear and nasties and had not seen these until today...and I keep the rubber at 42psi like the doctor ordered.
This is my third set of 020F's..I like 'em so am installing another set.
