Modern tyres tend to crack the sidewalls after just 2 or 3 years whereas older tyres lasted much longer
I've noticed this. Hankooks and Toyos seem to be the worst of the "name brand" tyres for it.Modern tyres tend to crack the sidewalls after just 2 or 3 years whereas older tyres lasted much longer
Did you use any bead seal?It stayed with pressure for only a week,I’ll take it off ,then run the powered wire brush in the rim,as it was rusting,typically cheap steel,I have trollies here 40 years old keep air for decades this rim is 17.
Is this a response to using “green” additives?Modern tyres tend to crack the sidewalls after just 2 or 3 years whereas older tyres lasted much longer
