Hi, through closeup inspection i noticed my rear tires has very small cracks all around the outer sidewall. They are like very thin cracks but they are all over the sidewall.

Should I be worried?

Cheers

 

probably... cracks mean the compound is drying up already... i would think of replacing them... if still hold air, prolly can roll on them but not race them hehe better be on the sfe side and replace them...

 

Those cracks can be a wide variety of things. Can you take a picture and I'll tell you exactly what they are.

 

In all my experience with cracks, the sidewall has eventually given out. But listen to chris here. hes the expert.

 

I'll post a pic ASAP. They are just small hairline cracks all over the sidewall.

The tire is Dunlop FM01. I believe they are good tires but have been replaced by the Dunlop Direzza DZ??
