I've just bought a Used 997.2 Turbo, <10,000 miles. It still has the original front tyre's by the looks of it.
They've cracked from the outside edge, across the tyre, in between the tread blocks, right up to the first radial channel.
I've asked the dealer to look at them and change them, but they say they're OK. As an engineer, knowing what stress these will get, old cracked rubber doesn't fill me with confidence, surely they cant be safe?
Anyone got anything (links etc) to good advice on what is/isn't dangerous?
I was hoping Mr Michelin could advise.
