Hey all, nawt a yank question but my daily driver escort has cracks all around the walls of tyres. It was sitting for a long time in the summer around 5 months i think.

Is this dangerous?

Thinking of getting them changed on monday as they are biscuits so shouldnt be too much. What do you think?

I say it's difficult to say without seeing them. Older rubber can crack and still be OK.

However, it's not something yo play around with, and should be changed for safety's sake, especially if it's within budget.

hmm, what i was thinking.. will do!

the fronts are fine but are different makes from the rear so i figure the last owner only needed to change the fronts and the rears are alot older.
