Hi, as above ^ two are splitting on the side walls near the tread. noticed a couple of small ones about a month ago now there are at least 10 small splits, is this type of problem fixable? :!: are these tyres know for splitting?

Nope never let them run flat or driven them on the road with low psi. Unforchantly i got them pre used so the previous owner must of abused em. < i took the risk of buying second hand... and payed for it :oops:

They aren’t perished or really old and hard either.
Had a yack to a guy at the service station and he reckoned the larger cracks could be refilled with rubber, to stop them getting larger. so i might try track someone down who can do that for me
