Should I Replace These Tires?
These tires on my wife's CRV. They are the expensive Michelin that I have for close to 5 years. They still have a lot meat on them. They are the 70K miles tires. Now on the side wall they developed small spider cracks. On the tread, there are cracks between the blocks. Am I at risk of blow out or failure? Given Discount Tire has awesome deal going on, should I just bit the bullet and stop being a TCB?

Cracks allow the rubber to breath. You know, like fine wine. I'd keep them.

If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

DT will often give some pro-rata credit on old but good tires if you are buying the same brand.
